Relative thermodynamics of water confined in infinite CNTs. The CNTs are labeled (x, y) according to their chirality as shown in Fig. S1. In this study, x = y indicates armchair nanotubes. (A) Relative Helmholtz free energy Inline graphic as a function of CNT diameter, referenced to a bulk water box of 14,000 molecules: Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic. The error bars indicate the statistical errors. The vertical dashed line indicates the point of convergence to the bulk. (B) Percentage of the free energy ΔA0 arising from the enthalpy Inline graphic or entropy Inline graphic.
