[gmx-users] Re: thermal conductivity,specific heat,enthalpy

[Ahmet yıldırım]

Dear Prof. Spoel,

Firstly, thanks for your reply.
I looked at the paper your said.
1.) To calculate the density d in a constant pressure simulation (in npt
simulation):
d=M/<V> equation (5)
M: mass of the system
V:volume of the system
Doesnt this formula (equation 5) use when Gromacs calculates the density of
system?

2.) The classical-that is, without any quantum corrections-heat capacity cP
can be obtained from the fluctuations in the enthalpy (from your paper):
cP=<H^2>/(kB.T^2) (equation 13)
How did you calculate <H^2>?

3.)You said before "
http://www.mail-archive.com/gmx-users@gromacs.org/msg37580.html"
cP = (<H^2> - <H>^2)/kB T^2 (NPT sim)

This formula doesn't equal to equation 13. There isnt <H>^2 term in
equation 13. Why?

Thanks in advance
