Molecular dynamics simulation of diffusion coefficients and structural properties of some alkylbenzenes in supercritical carbon dioxide at infinite dilution

Abstract: The binary infinite dilute diffusion coefficients, D₁₂(∞), of some alkylbenzenes (Ph-C(n), from Ph-H to Ph-C12) from 313 K to 333 K at 15 MPa in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) have been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The MD values agree well with the experimental ones, which indicate MD simulation technique is a powerful way to predict and obtain diffusion coefficients of solutes in supercritical fluids. Besides, the local structures of Ph-C(n)/CO2 fluids are further investigated by calcu… Show more

“…In recent years, some authors successfully performed classical MD simulation for calculation of organic molecules in SC-CO 2 [21,28,[32][33], taking advantage of the accurate potential functions available in the literature. More than replacing or incrementing measurements, MD is also very desired to unveil and interpret experimental trends observed.…”

“…During the last decades, the MD simulation techniques opened avenues in the prediction of thermo-physical properties, under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions, of a wide variety of systems [21,[28][29][30][31].

“…They made the interesting argument that molecular simulation can be employed as a tool for the determination of Fick diffusivities in high pressure systems, like in oil reservoirs, without the need to construct complicated and expensive experiments. Wang et al [9] extended these diffusion calculations to supercritical CO 2 /alkyl benzene binary mixtures emphasizing the structural aspects. They also made a similar argument that molecular simulation technique is a powerful way to predict diffusion coefficients of solutes in supercritical fluids.…”
