Abstract

In this work a newly developed dual control volume grand canonical molecular dynamics technique simulates the diffusion of gas in a cylindrical pore. This allows spatial variation of chemical potential and hence an accurate simulation of steady state pressure driven diffusion. The molecular sieving nature of imicroporous imogolite models and the Knudsen effect are discussed and compared with experimental data.
