LAPLACE: 
Nous devons donc envisager l'état présent de l'universe comme 
l'effet de son état antérieur et comme la cause de delui qui va suivre. 
Une intelligence qui, pour un instant donné, connaîtrait toutes les 
forces dont la nature est animée et la situation respective des êtres 
qui las composent, si d'ailleurs elle était assez vaste pour soumettre 
ces données à l'Analyse, embrasserait dans la même formule les 
mouvements des plus grands corps de l'univers et ceux du plus lèger 
atome : rien ne serait incertain pour elle, et l'avenir, comme le passé, 
serait présent à ses yeux. 
“Translation” In principle “Yes”. 
Provided that we know the position, velocity and 
interaction of all molecules, then the future behavior is 
predictable,…BUT
Molecular Simulation 
Background 
Macroscopic diffusion equations 
Fick’s laws
Why Simulation? 
1. Predicting properties of (new) materials 
2. Understanding phenomena on a 
molecular scale.
THE question: 
“Can we predict the macroscopic 
properties of (classical) many-body 
systems?”
…. There are so many molecules. 
This is why, before the advent of the computer, it was 
impossible to predict the properties of real materials. 
What was the alternative? 
1. Smart tricks (“theory”) 
Only works in special cases 
2. Constructing model (“molecular lego”)…
J.D. Bernal’s “ball-bearing 
model” of an atomic liquid…
J.D. Bernal constructs a 
model of a liquid… (around 
1950).. 
I took a number of rubber balls 
and stuck them together with rods 
of a selection of different 
lengths ranging from 2.75 to 4 
in. I tried to do this in the 
first place as casually as 
possible, working in my own 
office, 
being interrupted every five 
minutes or so and not remembering 
what I had done before the 
interruption. However, ...

A brief summary of: 
Entropy, temperature, Boltzmann distributions 
and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The basics: 
1. Nature is quantum-mechanical 
2. Consequence: 
Systems have discrete quantum states. 
For finite “closed” systems, the number of 
states is finite (but usually very large) 
3. Hypothesis: In a closed system, every 
state is equally likely to be observed. 
4. C o n s e q u e n c e : ALL of equilibrium 
Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
First: Simpler example (standard statistics) 
Draw N balls from an infinite vessel that contains an 
equal number of red and blue balls 
¥ ¥
Now consider two systems with total energy E. 
This function is very sharply peaked (for macroscopic systems)
Now, allow energy exchange 
between 1 and 2.
So: 
With:
This is the condition for thermal equilibrium (“no 
spontaneous heat flow between 1 and 2”) 
Normally, thermal equilibrium means: equal 
temperatures…
Let us define: 
Then, thermal equilibrium is 
equivalent to: 
This suggests that b is a function of T. 
Relation to classical thermodynamics:
Conjecture: ln W = S 
Almost right. 
Good features: 
•Extensivity 
•Third law of thermodynamics comes for 
free 
Bad feature: 
•It assumes that entropy is dimensionless 
but (for unfortunate, historical reasons, it 
is not…)
We have to live with the past, therefore 
With kB= 1.380662 10-23 J/K 
In thermodynamics, the absolute (Kelvin) 
temperature scale was defined such that 
But we found (defined):
And this gives the “statistical” definition of temperature: 
In short: 
Entropy and temperature are both related to 
the fact that we can COUNT states.
How large is W? 
For macroscopic systems, super-astronomically large. 
For instance, for a glass of water at room temperature: 
Macroscopic deviations from the second law of 
thermodynamics are not forbidden, but they are 
extremely unlikely.
Consider a “small” system 
(a molecule, a virus, a 
mountain) in thermal 
contact with a much larger 
system (“bath”). 
The total energy is fixed. The higher the energy of 
the small system, the lower the energy of the bath. 
What happens to the total number of 
accessible states?
But, as b=1/kBT : 
The probability that the small system is in a given (“labeled”) 
state with energy ei is
This is the Boltzmann distribution: 
“Low energies are more likely than high 
energies”
The probability to find the system in state I is: 
Hence, the average energy is
Therefore 
This can be compared to the thermodynamic 
relation
This suggests that the partition sum 
is related to the Helmholtz free energy through
Remarks 
The derivation is not difficult 
but it takes a few minutes… 
We have assumed quantum mechanics (discrete states) but 
often we are interested in the classical limit

different ensembles 
However, it is most of the times much better to think and to carefully 
select an appropriate ensemble. 
For this it is important to know how to simulate in the various 
ensembles. 
But for doing this wee need to know the Statistical Thermodynamics 
of the various ensembles.

4.1.3 The Chilton-Colburn Analogy 
The analogous behavior of momentum, heat, and mass transfer is apparent from 
Examples 1.4-6, 2.2-5, and 3.2-4, where laminar flow over a flat plate was considered. 
From Eqs. [1.4-67], [2.2-71], and [3.2-56], at a distance z from the leading edge of the 
plate,

The Chilton –Colburn analogy for momentum, heat and mass transfer has been 
derived here on the basis of laminar flow over a flat plate. However, it has been 
observed to be a reasonable approximation in laminar and turbulent flow in 
systems of other geometries provided no form drag is present . From drag, which 
has no counterpart in heat and mass transfer, makes Cf/2 greater than jH and jD, for 
example, in flow around (normal to) cylinders. However, when form drag is 
present, the Chilton –Colburn analogy between heat and mass transfer can still be 
valid, that is, 
jH = jD 
[4.1-30] 
or 
h k Sc

Pr2/3 m 2/3

These equations are considered valid for liquid and gases within the ranges 
0.6 < Sc < 2500 and 0.6 < Pr < 100 . They have been observed to be a reasonable 
approximation for various geometries, such as flow over flat plates, flow around 
cylinders, and flow in pipes.
The Chilton –Colburn analogy is useful in that it allows one unknown transfer 
coefficient to be evaluated from another transfer coefficient which is known or 
measured in the same geometry. For example, by use Eq. [4.1-26] the mass transfer 
coefficient km(for low solubility of species A in the fluid) can be estimated from a heat 
transfer coefficient h already measured for the same geometry. 
It is worth mentioning that for the limiting case of Pr=1, we see that from Eq.[4.1-

In Eq. [4.1-33] the pressure term has been converted from a surface integral to 
a volume integral using a Gauss divergence type theorem (i.e., Eq. [A.4-2]). 
Furthermore, the body force fand pressure gradient b Ñp 
can be considered as 
the rate of momentum generation due to these force. In Eq. [4.1-34] the kinetic 
and potential energy, and the pressure, viscous, and shaft work are not included 
since they are either negligible or irrelevant in most materials processing 
problems. In Eq. [4.1-35] ρw= ρ.

In Eq.[4.1-39] the viscous force Fv at the wall can be considered as the rate 
of momentum transfer through the wall by molecular diffusion. The pressure 
force Fp and the body force Fb , on the other hand, can be considered as the 
rate of momentum generation due to the action of these forces. In Eq.[4.1-40 ] 
Q is by conduction, which is similar to diffusion. 
The above equations are summarized in Table 4.1-3. The following overall

    4.1.3 The Chilton-ColburnAnalogy The analogous behavior of momentum, heat, and mass transfer is apparent from Examples 1.4-6, 2.2-5, and 3.2-4, where laminar flow over a flat plate was considered. From Eqs. [1.4-67], [2.2-71], and [3.2-56], at a distance z from the leading edge of the plate, C = - 0.323Re (1 2) fz 2 z 0.323Pr1 3 Re 1 2 z hz k = k z Sc D m 0.323 1 3 Re 1 2 z A = [4.1-16] [4.1-17] [4.1-18] where Rez zru m = ¥ (local Reynolds number) Pr p v C m = = (Prandtl number) k a Sc v m r = = (Schmidt number) D D A A [4.1-19] [4.1-20] [4.1-21] and υ∞ is the velocity of the fluid approaching the flat plate.

[4.1-19] through [4.1-21] into Eq. [4.1-25], we obtain C fz h k m Sc Pr2 3 2 3 2 = = u rC u ¥ ¥ p [4.1-25] [4.1-26]

    The Chilton –Colburnanalogy for momentum, heat and mass transfer has been derived here on the basis of laminar flow over a flat plate. However, it has been observed to be a reasonable approximation in laminar and turbulent flow in systems of other geometries provided no form drag is present . From drag, which has no counterpart in heat and mass transfer, makes Cf/2 greater than jH and jD, for example, in flow around (normal to) cylinders. However, when form drag is present, the Chilton –Colburn analogy between heat and mass transfer can still be valid, that is, jH = jD [4.1-30] or h k Sc v rC v ¥ ¥ Pr2/3 m 2/3 p = [4.1-31] These equations are considered valid for liquid and gases within the ranges 0.6 < Sc < 2500 and 0.6 < Pr < 100 . They have been observed to be a reasonable approximation for various geometries, such as flow over flat plates, flow around cylinders, and flow in pipes.
  • 96.
    The Chilton –Colburnanalogy is useful in that it allows one unknown transfer coefficient to be evaluated from another transfer coefficient which is known or measured in the same geometry. For example, by use Eq. [4.1-26] the mass transfer coefficient km(for low solubility of species A in the fluid) can be estimated from a heat transfer coefficient h already measured for the same geometry. It is worth mentioning that for the limiting case of Pr=1, we see that from Eq.[4.1- 26] fz 2 = [4.1-32] p C h u rC ¥ Which is known as the Reynolds analogy , in honor of Reynolds’ first recognition of the analogous behavior of momentum and heat transfer in 1874.

[4.1-34] the kinetic and potential energy, and the pressure, viscous, and shaft work are not included since they are either negligible or irrelevant in most materials processing problems. In Eq.
