Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to obtain pressure, radial distribution function, and self-diffusion coefficient of fluid methane using one site OPLS (optimized potentials for liquid simulations), five sites OPLS-SITE, and two-body HFD (Hartree-Fock dispersion)-like potentials. To take higher-body forces into account, three-body potential of Hauschild and Prausnitz (1993) has been used with the two-body HFD-like potential. The significance of this work is that the three-body potential of Hauschild and Prausnitz extended as a function of density and temperature and used with the HFD-like potential to improve the prediction of the results of pressure of fluid methane without requiring an expensive three-body calculation. The molecular dynamics simulation of methane has been also used to determine a new equation of state. The results are in a good agreement with experimental and theoretical values.
