摘要: 應用Lennard-Jone作用勢,在300K和0.1MPa條件下,對邊長20nm的立方體孔隙內氮氣的導熱系數進行了平衡分子動力學模擬.結果得出分子分速度和速率的分布與統計力學得到的Maxwell速度和速率分布曲線基本一致,并且分子的平均自由程受到孔隙壁的嚴格限制.通過Green-Kubo關系式計算得出了孔隙內氮氣的導熱系數,并與文獻中的結果進行了比較,模擬結果接近于實驗值,僅為同樣條件下自由空間氮氣的導熱系數的1/3左右.Abstract: Using Lennard-Jones pair potential, the thermal conductivity of nitrogen in a cubic pore of 20 nm in length was calculated by equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulation at 300 K and 0.1 MPa. The distributions of velocity component and speed of molecules calculated by the simulation and the Maxwell distribution equation fit very well. The mean free path of the molecules was strictly confined by the wall size of the nanoscale pore. The thermal conductivity of nitrogen in the nanoscale pore was determined by the Green-Kubo method and separately compared with the experimental and theoretic data in the literatures. The simulation result is close to the experimental one and only about one third of the value in the free space under the same conductions.
