Abstract

The structure and thermal conductivity of the sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution in similar concentration to the seawater with saturated carbon dioxide (CO2) have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of pressure have been investigated under various pressures corresponding to the depth of the sea from 40m to 10000m. The negative pressure dependence of the thermal conductivity has been detected in the depth of more than 8000m, whereas that of NaCl aqueous solution without CO2 shows the positive pressure dependence.
