Abstract
In this work we have used the extension of the Gibbs ensemble simulation technique to inhomogeneous fluids [Panagiotopoulos, A.Z. (1987) "Adsorption and capillary condensation of fluid in cylindrical pores by Monte Carlo simulation in the Gibbs ensemble", Mol. Phys. , 62 (3), 701-719], which has been applied to adsorption phenomena of confined fluids. Fluid molecules are described by spherical particles interacting via a square-well potential. The fluid is confined in two types of walls: symmetrical (two hard walls) and non-symmetrical (one square-well wall and one hard wall). In order to analyze the behavior of the confined fluid by varying the potential parameters, we evaluated the bulk and confined densities, the internal energies and the density profiles for different supercritical temperatures. A variety of adsorption profiles can be obtained by using this model. The simulation data reported here complements the available simulation data for this system and can be useful in the development of inhomogeneous fluid theories. Since the square-well parameters can be related to real molecules this system can also be used to understand real adsorption systems.
