摘要
Heat transfer is one of the basic issues in chemical production, and thermal conductivity is an important thermodynamic data in the design of chemical product production processes. In this paper, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics methods are used to simulate the heat transfer of liquid alcohols at four different temperatures, and the thermal conductivity of the corresponding conditions is obtained. The average relative deviation between the calculated value and the experimental value was 3.77%. Through the decomposition of heat flux, it was found that molecular kinetic energy, Coulomb interaction and intramolecular dihedral angle contribute the most to the heat conduction of alcohols. At the same time, as the molecular volume increases, the thermal conduction pathway of the intramolecular interaction term gradually dominates, indicating that the thermal conduction mechanism of alcohols has a significant relationship with the molecular structure. In addition, as the temperature elevates, the heat flux transmitted through the molecular kinetic energy, intermolecular Coulomb interaction, and the intramolecular angle bending and bond stretching term increases, while the heat flux transmitted through the molecular potential energy decreases significantly. This work provides a microscopic explanation for the effects of the structure and temperature of liquid alcohols on thermal conductivity, and provides a micro foundation for the study of heat conduction of liquid alcohols. © 2020, Chemical Industry Press Co., Ltd.
