We report computer simulations in the Grand canonical ensemble of a system of several alkanes
between two solid surfaces. We computed the solvation force exerted by the fluid on the plates. The
solvation force for linear decane oscillates with distance with a periodicity close to the width of the
molecules. The branched alkanes ~2-methylundecane and 2-methylheptane! show a similar
oscillatory behavior, however the oscillations are decreased and are shifted to the attractive regime.
In addition, we computed the liquid-vapour equilibria by using Gibbs ensemble Monte-Carlo
simulations of n-pentane confined in a slit of 9, 13, 17 Å. The critical temperature of the
liquid-vapour coexistence shifts to lower temperatures upon confining. At a plate separation of 5 Å,
no liquid-vapour equilibrium is found
