Abstract

We review notable advances published in the year 1999 in the area of phase change and phase growth in porous media. Phase equilibria thermodynamics, particularly in micropores, and growth kinetics, emphasizing the pore-network structure, are highlighted. Advances reported include the effects of confinement in phase transitions in micropores, and of the pore microstructure in the growth and dissolution of gas and liquid phases with applications ranging from capillary condensation to drying to gas evolution to condensation.
