The wall-atom density ρw is in units of nm-3, the fluid-wall interaction εfw is in kJ·mol-1, and the effective interaction strength εeff is in kJ·mol-1·nm-3. The critical pore radius Rc is given in nm. The pore length was 0.8 nm in this work, 1.7 nm in the carbon nanotube simulations (22), and infinite in the mean field model (41)
