چکیده

A method is developed for automatic generation of intermolecular two-body, rigid-monomer potential energy surfaces based on symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT). It is also possible to substitute SAPT interaction energies by values computed using sufficiently high-level supermolecular methods. The long-range component of the potential is obtained from a rigorous asymptotic expansion with ab initio computed coefficients which seamlessly connects to SAPT interaction energies at large separations. An accompanying software package has been developed and tested successfully on eight systems ranging in size from the Cl--H2O dimer to the cyclotrimethylene trinitramine dimer containing 42 atoms total. The potentials have a typical fit error of about 0.2 kcal/mol in the negative energy region. The accuracy may be further improved by including off-atomic sites or increasing their number. All aspects of potential development were designed to work reliably on a broad range of systems with no human intervention.

Theoretical study of intermolecular potential energy and second virial coefficient in the mixtures of CH4 and H2CO gases

To get a mole of a gas, it is necessary to calculate the intermolecular interaction. Theseintermolecular interactions can be depicted by drawing the potential energy of a pair molecule inrelation to the distance. The intermolecular potential energy surface in the mixtures of CH4-H2COgases from ab initio calculations has been explored. In ab initio calculations the basis setsuperposition error (...

Characterization of wax using potential energy and nanocalculation

Most reservoir fluids contain heavy paraffinic compounds that may precipitate as a solid or solid like material called wax if the fluid is cooled down. Wax precipitation is a phenomenon of considerable importance in oil industry. An increase in aggregation results in enhanced oil viscosity. This however causes significant negative effects on production, transportation and processing of crude oi...
