Response theory for confined systems.

چکیده
In this work, we use the transient time correlation function (TTCF) method to evaluate the response of a fluid confined in a nanopore and subjected to shear. The shear is induced by the movement of the boundaries in opposite directions and is made of moving atoms. The viscous heat generated inside the pore is removed by a thermostat applied exclusively to the atomic walls, so as to leave the dynamics of the fluid purely Newtonian. To establish a link with nonlinear response theory and apply the TTCF formalism, dissipation has to be generated inside the system. This dissipation is then time correlated with a phase variable of interest (e.g., pressure) to obtain its response. Until recently, TTCF has been applied to homogeneous fluids whose equations of motion were coupled to a mechanical field and a thermostat. In our system dissipation is generated by a boundary condition rather than a mechanical field, and we show how to apply TTCF to these realistic confined systems, comparing the shear stress response so obtained with that of homogeneous systems at equivalent state points.

Density and Polarization Profiles of Dipolar Hard Ellipsoids Confined between Hard Walls: A Density Functional Theory Approach
The density and polarization profiles of the dipolar hard ellipsoids confined between hard walls are studied using the density functional theory (DFT). The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. The number density is expanded up to zero and first order in polarization to find the results. For the zero order in...
متن کاملTHE DENSITY PROFILES OF A LENNARD -JONES FLUID CONFINED TO A SLIT
The structure of fluids confined by planar walls is studied using density functional theory. The density functional used is a generalized form of the hypernetted chain (HNC) functional which contains a term third order in the density. This term is chosen to ensure that the modified density functional gives the correct bulk pressure. The proposed density functional applied to a Lennard-Jones...

متن کاملEnergy efficiency in a building complex through seasonal storage of thermal energy in a confined aquifer
Confined aquifers are formations surrounded by impermeable layers called cap rocks and bed rocks. These aquifers are suitable for the seasonal storage of thermal energy. A confined aquifer was designed to meet the cooling and heating energy needs of a residential building complex located in Tehran, Iran. The annual cooling and heating energy needs of the buildings were estimated to be 8.7...
