Some geothermal formations may contain a large concentration of CO2 and a very high
vertical temperature gradient. It is likely that there may be significant variation in the CO2 …

The components of a fluid mixture may segregate due to the Soret effect, a coupling
phenomenon in which mass flux can be induced by a thermal gradient. In this work, we …

Molecular dynamics is employed to simulate the Soret effect on two binary liquid solutions
with equimolar mixtures: normal pentane (n-pentane, nC-5) and normal heptane (n-heptane …

The faculty of engineering at McMaster University is very diverse with students coming from
a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and nationalities. There is an expected level of …

By means of molecular dynamics (MD), two novel methods, a thermal mean-path that may
outline temperature profiles effectively in the MD system and a modified coarse-grained …

In oil and gas reservoirs, the thermal diffusion effect leads to compositional variations of
hydrocarbon fluids in both horizontal and vertical directions. Compared with experimental …

Thermodiffusion or the Ludwig-Soret effect is known as the cross effect between the
temperature gradient and induced separation of mixture species in multicomponent …

The influence of high pressure on the Soret effect of multicomponent n-alkanes mixtures was
investigated with the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method to provide simulation …

The effect of the temperature gradient on the Soret coefficient in n-pentane/n-decane (n-
C5/n-C10) mixtures was investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) …

We provide a concrete expression for the phase-space distribution function at
nonequilibrium steady state under a constant thermal gradient, which is a typical system of …
