Local thermodynamic description of isothermal single-phase flow in porous media
Olav Galteland, Michael T. Rauter, Mina S. Bratvold +3
Darcy's law for porous media transport is given a new local thermodynamic basis in terms of the grand potential of confined fluids. The local effective pressure gradient is determi…

Defining the pressures of a fluid in a nanoporous, heterogeneous medium
Olav Galteland, Michael T. Rauter, Kevin K. Varughese +2
We describe the thermodynamic state of a single-phase fluid confined to a porous medium with Hill's thermodynamics of small systems, also known as nanothermodynamics. This way of d…
