Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out both for pure water and an infinitely dilute aqueous solution of methanol at 298.15 K and ordinary density by the Metropolis scheme in NVT ensemble. The total number of molecules is 216, one of which is methanol in the case of aqueous solution. For water–water interaction, the MCY (Matsuoka–Clementi–Yoshimine) potential is used, whereas a new pair potential is determined for water–methanol interaction from ab initio LCAO SCF MO calculations for more

Monte Carlo calculation has been carried out for 5 mol % aqueous solution of methanol at 298.15 K and experimental density with the Metropolis scheme in NTV ensemble. The total number of molecules is 216, of which 11 are methanol. The three kinds of pair potential function used are all based on SCF MO calculations, namely, water–water interactions with MCY (Matsuoka–Clementi–Yoshimine) potential, water–methanol, and methanol–methanol interactions with those proposed by Okazaki et al. and Jorgens

Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for 64 water molecules and two aqueous solutions each containing 63 water molecules and one nonpolar molecule in the canonical NVT ensemble at 298.15 K and 18.07 cm3 mol−1 using the Metropolis method. The ST-2 and Lennard-Jones potentials are used for water–water and water–solute interactions. Two nonpolar molecules roughly simulate methane and isobutane, respectively. The energy stabilization due to the introduction of nonpolar solute is clearly rec

Abstract The effects of the treatment of niobic acid with phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrofluoric acid on its surface area, structure, acidic property, and catalytic activity have been studied. The treatment with phosphoric acid was found to be most effective for maintaining a large surface area and a large amount of strong acid sites and for preventing niobic acid from crystallizing even after the heat treatment at higher temperatures above 600 °C. The XPS study revealed that a large a

Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out with the Metropolis method for two systems each containing 63 ST-2 water and one Lennard-Jones solute in NVT ensemble at 298.15 K and 18.07 cm3 mol−1. The solutes chosen approximately simulate ethane and pentane. The internal energy and various distribution functions have been calculated and their results enable us, when combined with the previous study on methane and isobutane solutions, to examine the solute size dependence of hydrophobic hydratio

Polarized and depolarized Raman scattering measurement and molecular dynamics (MD) calculations have been performed for supercritical CF3H at various densities along an isotherm higher than Tc by about 6 K in order to investigate the density dependence of rotational relaxation. The rotational autocorrelation functions obtained from both methods, which are in satisfactory agreement with each other, showed liquid-like diffusional decay for the fluid at densities higher than ρc. The function change

Abstract Chlorofluorocarbons such as CClF3 and CCl2FCClF2 were readily decomposed by the reaction with water vapor at temperatures higher than 450 °C in the presence of iron oxide supported on activated carbon.

The authors propose a novel method to evaluate the position-dependent diffusion constant by analyzing unperturbed segments of a trajectory determined by the additional flat-bottom potential. The accuracy of this novel method is first established by studying homogeneous systems, where the reference value can be obtained by the Einstein relation. The applicability of this new method to heterogeneous systems is then demonstrated by studying a hydrophobic solute near a hydrophobic wall. The proposed
