Accurate transport cross sections for the Lennard-Jones potential
نویسنده
چکیده
Physically motivated expressions for the transport cross sections describing classical scattering in the Lennard-Jones potential are proposed. These expressions, which agree with the numerical results better than to within ±1%, can be easy implemented in practical situations. Some relevant examples are provided.

The Modified Lennard-Jones and Devonshire Equation of State
Lennard-Jones-Devonshire equation of state is an old but theoretical based EOS. The concept of the nearest neighboring molecules or coordination number is proposed to be a function of temperature and volume, whereas it is a constant in the original. The dilute gas and hard sphere limits of molecules are employed to determine this function. Improvement of this modification is demonstrated by pro...
متن کاملLennard-Jones parameters for combustion and chemical kinetics modeling from full-dimensional intermolecular potentials
Lennard-Jones parameters for use in combustion modeling, as transport parameters and in pressure-dependent rate-coefficient calculations as collision rate parameters, are calculated from accurate full-dimensional intermolecular potentials. Several first-principles theoretical methods are considered. In the simplest approach, the intermolecular potential is isotropically averaged and used to det...
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 کاملSecond Virial Coefficients for Nonspherical Molecules and Their Experimental Measurements
The virial coefficients can be obtained from statistical mechanics in connection with the intermolecular potentials. The intermolecular potential of polyatomic molecules is usually assumed to consist of a spherically symmetric component plus a contribution due to asphericaity of the molecular charge distribution. In this study, the second virial coefficients have been calculated for N2...
متن کاملClassical scattering in strongly attractive potentials.
Scattering in central attractive potentials is investigated systematically, in the limit of strong interaction, when large-angle scattering dominates. In particular, three important model interactions (Lennard-Jones, Yukawa, and exponential), which are qualitatively different from each other, are studied in detail. It is shown that for each of these interactions the dependence of the scattering...
