Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub>-induced atomistic lubrication for water flow in a rough hydrophilic nanochannel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A fluid flow in a nanochannel highly depends on the wettability of the channel surface to the fluid. The permeability of the nanochannel is usually very low, largely due to the adhesion of fluid at the solid interfaces. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we demonstrate that the flow of water in a nanochannel with rough hydrophilic surfaces can be significantly enhanced by the presence of a thin layer of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) at the water-solid interfaces. The thin scCO2 layer acts like an atomistic lubricant that transforms a hydrophilic interface into a super-hydrophobic one and triggers a transition from a stick- to- a slip boundary condition for a nanoscale flow. This work provides an atomistic insight into multicomponent interactions in nanochannels and illustrates that such interactions can be manipulated, if needed, to increase the throughput and energy efficiency of nanofluidic systems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
