Riassunto
In this thesis the behavior of methane molecules entrapped within nanopores has been studied, paying attention on the molecular parameters which describe intramolecular and intermolecular interactions among molecules. The target of this work was to obtain the adsorption profile of methane molecules within pore slit, so that the fraction of free gas in the pore, easier to extract from rock reservoirs, has been estimated. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed by LAMMPS, and the language code used for analyzing the results obtained with LAMMPS was Fortran language.
