A novel non-equilibrium method for calculating transport coefficients is presented. It reverses the experimental cause-and-effect picture, e.g. for the calculation of viscosities: the effect, the momentum flux or stress, is imposed, whereas the cause, the velocity gradient or shear rate, is obtained from the simulation. It differs from other Nortonensemble methods by the way, in which the stead...

We investigate the effect of a temperature gradient on oil recovery in a two-dimensional pore-network model. The oil viscosity depends on temperature as μ(o) [Please see text] e(B/T), where B is a physicochemical parameter, depending on the type of oil, and T is the temperature. A temperature gradient is applied across the medium in the flow direction. Initially, the porous medium is saturated ...

First-principles molecular-dynamics simulations based on density-functional theory and the projector augmented wave ~PAW! technique have been used to study the structural and dynamical properties of liquid iron under Earth’s core conditions. As evidence for the accuracy of the techniques, we present PAW results for a range of solid-state properties of lowand high-pressure iron, and compare them...

Predictions of the transport properties self-diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity are presented for a recently developed molecular ammonia model. These data show mean unsigned deviations to the experiment over a temperature range from 200 to 500 K of 8 % for the self-diffusion coefficient and 12% for the shear viscosity. Furthermore, the vapor-liquid equilibria of the ternary system carbon...

Some Bianchi type I viscous fluid cosmological models with a variable cosmological constant are investigated in which the expansion is considered only in two direction i.e. one of the Hubble parameter (H1 = A4 A ) is zero. The viscosity coefficient of bulk viscous fluid is assumed to be a power function of mass density whereas the coefficient of shear viscosity is considered as constant in firs...

This paper presents a study on the thermodynamics and transport properties of hot potassium carbonate aqueous system (HPC) using electrolyte non-random two liquid, (ELECNRTL) model. The operation conditions are varied to determine the system liquid phase stability range at the standard and critical conditions. A case study involving 30 wt% K2CO3, H2O standard system at pressure of 1 bar and tem...

The existence of coefficients for diffusion, viscosity, and thermal conductivity is examined for two-dimensional (2D) liquids. Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are performed using a Yukawa potential and the long-time behavior of autocorrelation functions is tested. Advances reported here as compared to previous 2D Yukawa liquid simulations include an assessment of the thermal conducti...

A novel time-domain Green’s function is developed for dealing with two-dimensional interaction between water waves and floating bodies with considering viscous dissipation effects based on the “fairly perfect fluid” model. In the Green’s function, the temporal (lower order viscosity coefficient term) and spatial (higher order viscosity coefficient term) viscous dissipation effects are fully con...

We consider the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible viscous fluids in one dimension. It is a well known fact that if the initial data are smooth and the initial density is bounded by below by a positive constant, then a strong solution exists for a small time. In this paper, we show that under the same hypothesis, the density remains bounded by below by a positive constant uniformly in tim...

In this work, the inversion scheme was used to determine the potential energy surfaces of five polar refrigerant mixtures. The systems studied here are R123-R134a, R123-R142b, R123-R152a, R142b-R134a, and R142b-R152a. The low-density transport coefficients of the refrigerant mixtures were calculated from the new invert potentials by the classical kinetic theory. The viscosity coefficient, binar...
