This research discusses the separation of methane gas from three different gas mixtures, CH4/H2S, CH4/N2 and CH4/CO2, using a modified silicon carbide nanosheet (SiCNS) membrane using both molecular dynamics (MD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. The research examines the effects of di...
