CO2-EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) has garnered significant attention as a viable option for the advancement of sustainable energy development. To gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental physical properties associated with this technology, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to compute the phase behavior of CO2 + water systems under varying conditions ranging from 40°C to 300°C. Through the analysis of dynamics, in conjunction with an investigation of molecular structure during phase change, the physical properties underlying the estimation and interpretation of transport properties were examined and discussed.
