Solvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
متن کاملMulticomponent adhesive hard sphere models and short-ranged attractive interactions in colloidal or micellar solutions.
We investigate the dependence of the stickiness parameters tij=1/(12tauij)--where the tauij are the conventional Baxter parameters--on the solute diameters sigmai and sigmaj in multicomponent sticky hard sphere (SHS) models for fluid mixtures of mesoscopic neutral particles. A variety of simple but realistic interaction potentials, utilized in the literature to model short-ranged attractions pr...
متن کاملTransient cavities and the excess chemical potentials of hard-spheroid solutes in dipolar hard-sphere solvents.
Monte Carlo computer simulations are used to study transient cavities and the solvation of hard-spheroid solutes in dipolar hard-sphere solvents. The probability distribution of spheroidal cavities in the solvent is shown to be well described by a Gaussian function, and the variations of fit parameters with cavity elongation and solvent properties are analyzed. The excess chemical potentials of...
متن کاملInteractions between halide anions and a molecular hydrophobic interface.
Interactions between halide ions (fluoride and iodide) and t-butyl alcohol (TBA) dissolved in water are probed using a recently developed hydration-shell spectroscopic technique and theoretical cluster and liquid calculations. High ignal-to-noise Raman spectroscopic measurements are combined with multivariate curve resolution (Raman-MCR) to reveal that while there is little interaction between ...
متن کاملThe Hydrophobic Effect and the Influence of Solute-Solvent Attractions
We have studied the effect of weak solute-solvent attractions on the solvation of nonpolar molecules in water at ambient conditions using an extension and improved parameterization of the theory of solvation due to Lum, Chandler, and Weeks [J. Phys. Chem. B 1999, 103, 4570]. With a reasonable strength of alkanewater interactions, an accurate prediction of the alkane-water interfacial tension is...
