Low-temperature vapor-liquid equilibria from parallelized molecular dynamics simulations. Application to 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene.

A parallelized sampling version of the Gibbs Ensemble (Mol. Phys. 2000, 98, 1887) has been implemented to predict low-temperature vapor-liquid equilibria of 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene modeled by anisotropic united atom potentials. The simulation were performed at the low temperature of 364.2 K at which common direct simulation methods fail due to particle transfer problems. The simulation results are compared with published results obtained from the Gibbs-Duhem integration method and with experimental data. Both methods are compared and discussed in terms of computational efficiency and with respect to their future use at other thermodynamic conditions.

Optimized intermolecular potential for aromatic hydrocarbons based on anisotropic united atoms. III. Polyaromatic and naphthenoaromatic hydrocarbons.

In this third article of the series, a new anisotropic united atoms (AUA) intermolecular potential parameter set has been proposed for the carbon force centers connecting the aromatic rings of polyaromatic hydrocarbons to predict thermodynamic properties using both the Gibbs ensemble and NPT Monte Carlo simulations. The model uses the same parameters as previous AUA models used for the aromatic CH force centers. The optimization procedure is based on the minimization of a dimensionless error criterion incorporating various thermodynamic data of naphthalene at 400 and 550 K. The new model has been evaluated on a series of polyaromatic and naphthenoaromatic hydrocarbons over a wide range of temperatures up to near-critical conditions. Vaporization enthalpy, liquid density, and normal boiling temperature are reproduced with good accuracy. The new potential parameters have also been tested successfully on toluene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, styrene, m-xylene, n-hexylbenzene, and n-dodecylbenzene to demonstrate their transferability to alkylbenzenes.
