Abstract
and decane MMP at the bulk scale (5 μm) and nanoscale (50 nm). The experimental results align well with literature data and theoretical predictions. Importantly, our nanofluidic approach provides a promising strategy to determine the nanoscopic fluid MMP and is readily applicable in assisting the enhanced tight/shale oil recovery.
