• Effect of strain on gas adsorption in tight gas carbonates: A DFT study 

      Elbashier E.; Hussein I.; Carchini G.; Sakhaee Pour A.; Berdiyorov G.R. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      The geometrical properties of the reservoir rocks are usually affected by natural thermodynamics or environmental changes. These factors may modify the distribution and the amount of gas in place in the reservoir. To address ...
    • Influence of natural gas composition on adsorption in calcite Nanopores: A DFT study 

      Elbashier E.; Hussein I.; Carchini G.; Kasha A.; Berdiyorov G. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      Density functional theory is used to study the adsorption of natural gas components in calcite (10.4) cylindrical nanopores with 1–4 nm diameters. The change of adsorption energy with the diameter of the nanopores is studied ...
    • The effect of vacancy defects on the adsorption of methane on calcite 104 surface 

      Berdiyorov G.R.; Elbashier E.; Carchini G.; Hussein I.A.; Sakhaee-Pour A. ( Elsevier Editora Ltda , 2021 , Article)
      Density functional theory calculations are used to study the effect of vacancy defects (ionic Ca and charge neutral CO3) on the adsorption properties of CH4 molecule on different calcite surfaces. Both types of vacancy ...
