Chemical potential of quadrupolar two-centre Lennard-Jones fluids by gradual insertion
نویسنده
چکیده
The gradual insertion method for direct calculation of the chemical potential by molecular simulation is applied in the NpT ensemble to different quadrupolar two-centre LennardJones fluids at high density state points. The results agree well with Widom’s test particle insertion but show at very high densities significantly smaller statistical uncertainties. The gradual insertion method, which is coupled here with preferential sampling, extends the density range where reliable information on the chemical potential can be obtained. Application details are reported. ∗ author for correspondence, tel.: +49-711/685-6107, fax: +49-711/685-7657, email: [email protected]

Comprehensive study of the vapour-liquid equilibria of the pure two-centre Lennard-Jones plus pointdipole fluid
Results of a systematic investigation of the vapour-liquid equilibria of 38 individual two-centre Lennard-Jones plus axial pointdipole model fluids (2CLJD) are reported over a range of reduced dipolar momentum 0 ≤ μ ≤ 20 and of reduced elongation 0 ≤ L ≤ 1.0. Temperatures investigated are from about 55 % to about 95 % of the critical temperature of each fluid. The NpT+Test Particle Method is us...
متن کاملLennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory
By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT) based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...
متن کاملVapour-liquid equilibria for quadrupolar Lennard- Jones fluids
Monte Carlo calculations in the Gibbs ensemble are reported for pure quadrupolar Lennard-Jones fluids. The vapour-liquid equilibrium curves, critical temperatures, and critical densities are calculated for various quadrupolar strengths (e*’ = Q’/Eu’ = 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5). It is shown that as the quadrupolar strength increases both the critical temperature and the critical density increase. C...
متن کاملA Self-Consistent Technique for the Construction and Evaluation of the Three-Parameter Corresponding States Principles
A self-consistent approach for the evaluation of the existing three-parameter corresponding states principles of non-polar fluids and the calculation of the corresponding states parameters is presented. This self consistent approach is based upon the assumption that the contribution of the third parameter to the thermophysical properties is much smaller than the contributions of the first two p...
