A molecular dynamic study of a mixture of n-hexane and 2,2dimethyl butane (22DMB) confined to zeolite NaY has been carried out to understand the distinct diffusivity and mutual diffusivity. Results have been compared with the bulk mixture. For each of these mixtures, eight different runs were employed to compute distinct and mutual diffusivity. From the velocity autoand cross-correlation functions between n-hexane and n-hexane, n-hexane and 22DMB, 22DMB and 22DMB, the self-and distinct diffusivity of the mixture has been computed. The thermodynamic factor and mutual diffusivity have been calculated. The ratio of D 11 to D s is seen to be 1.11 and 0.75 for the confined mixture, while they are 1.21 and 0.79 for the bulk mixture at 200 and 300 K, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
