Surface tensions of linear and branched alkanes from Monte Carlo simulations using the anisotropic united atom model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The anisotropic united atoms (AUA4) model has been used for linear and branched alkanes to predict the surface tension as a function of temperature by Monte Carlo simulations. Simulations are carried out for n-alkanes ( n-C5, n-C6, n-C7, and n-C10) and for two branched C7 isomers (2,3-dimethylpentane and 2,4-dimethylpentane). Different operational expressions of the surface tension using both the thermodynamic and the mechanical definitions have been applied. The simulated surface tensions with the AUA4 model are found to be consistent within both definitions and in good agreement with experiments.

A Monte Carlo Study for Photoneutron Dose Estimations around the High-Energy Linacs
Background: High-energy linear accelerator (linac) is a valuable tool and the most commonly device for external beam radiation treatments in cancer patients. In the linac head, high-energy photons with energies above the threshold of interaction produce photoneutrons. These photoneutrons deliver the extra dose to the patients in the planning treatment and increase the risk of secondary cancer.O...
متن کاملAdsorption and separation of linear and branched alkanes on carbon nanotube bundles from configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulation
The adsorption and separation of linear C1-nC5 and branched C5 isomers alkanes on single-walled carbon nanotube bundles at 300 K have been studied using configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulation. For pure linear alkanes, the limiting adsorption properties at zero coverage exhibit a linear relation with the alkane carbon number; the long alkane is more adsorbed at low pressures, but the revers...

The determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a Macromolecule. Italso reflects molecular compactness shape. In this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. We studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for Acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...
متن کاملIncorporating configurational-bias Monte Carlo into the Wang-Landau algorithm for continuous molecular systems.
Configurational-bias Monte Carlo has been incorporated into the Wang-Landau method. Although the Wang-Landau algorithm enables the calculation of the complete density of states, its applicability to continuous molecular systems has been limited to simple models. With the inclusion of more advanced sampling techniques, such as configurational-bias, the Wang-Landau method can be used to simulate ...
متن کاملRoughness uncertainty analysis in river flooding using HEC-RAS model
Although flood maps based on the deterministic approach play an important role in minimizing flood losses, there is considerable uncertainty in calculating the level of water inundation. Roughness is a key parameter in water surface elevation. Since roughness is not easily measurable and is estimated based on experimental and laboratory methods, it introduces a significant degree of uncertainty...
