Expressions for the thermodynamic factor matrix Γ of quaternary mixtures are derived in terms of Kirkwood-Buff integrals and implemented into the massivelyparallel simulation tool ms2. To assess these expressions, a liquid-like supercritical quaternary Lennard-Jones mixture is sampled throughout its entire composition range, employing molecular dynamics in the canonical ensemble. Good agreement is found between numerical chemical potential derivatives and the results from the present Kirkwood-Buff integral expressions. Moreover, the limits of the thermodynamic factor matrix for pure, binary and ternary subsystems are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
