Experimental Melting Point

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to calculate the melting points of perfect crystalline aluminum to high pressures. Under ambientpressure, there exhibits about 20% superheating before melting compared to the experimental melting point. Under high pressures, thecalculated melting temperature increases with the pressure but at a decreasing rate, which agrees well with the Simon's melting equation. Porosity effect was also studied for aluminum crystals with various initial porosity at ambient pressure, which shows that the equilibrium melting point decreases with the initial porosity as experiments expect.

Molecular Dynamics Results

In this paper we give a brief presentation of the approaches we have recently developed on the oxidation of metals. Firstly, we present an analytical model based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics to describe the reaction kinetics present during the oxidation of a metal. Secondly, we present the molecular dynamics results obtained with a code specially tailored to study the oxidation and growth of an oxide film of aluminium. Our simulations present an excellent agreement with experimental results.

Mass transport coefficients play an important role in process design and in compositional grading of oil reservoirs. As experimental measurements of these properties can be costly and hazardous, Molecular Dynamics simulations emerge as an alternative approach. In this work, we used Molecular Dynamics to calculate the self-diffusion coefficients of methane/n-hexane mixtures at different conditions, in both liquid and supercritical phases. We evaluated how the finite box size and the choice of the force field affect the calculated properties at high pressures. Results show a strong dependency between self-diffusion and the simulation box size. The Yeh-Hummer analytical correction [J. Phys. Chem. B, 108, 15873 (2004)] can attenuate this effect, but sometimes makes the results depart from experimental data due to issues concerning the force fields. We have also found that different all-atom and united-atom models can produce biased results due to caging effects and to different dihedral configurations of the n-alkane.
