Dear Dubbeldam,

Thanks for your reply. It seems I misused the two effects, i.e. the boundary effect and the finite-size effect.

In the grand-canonical approach, the intermolecular force between the substrate of interest and the image substrate can be minimized by creating the free space in the z-direction. In other words, the finite-size effect can be handled.

However, for the Gibbs approach,  if the simulation box of the adsorbed phase is enlarged to avoid the finite-size effect, a fluid phase seems to appear in this simulation box.

So, is it practical to set the adsorbed phase box with a sufficiently large box volume?

Thanks in advance
Sincerely,

Dear RASPA users,

I want to simulate the adsorption of water on zeolites via Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (GEMC) simulation.

In a Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation, I can create a free space of several hundred Å to eliminate the effect.

However, it seems impractical to do the same in a GEMC simulation.

Thus, how can I eliminate the influence of image zeolites on water?

Thanks in advance
Sincerely,

Thanks for your kindly response!

I have checked the result:
The vapor pressure seems to fluactuate around the average pressure value which indicates the system are well equilibrated.
However, the average widom chemical potential of vapor phase differs a lot from the liquid phase which indicates the system are not equilibrated.

So, I am confused how can I tell the system is well equilbrated?

Hello Dr. Dubbeldam,

I am doing NVT-Gibbs Ensemble Simulations to obtain SPC/E water vapor density.

I have no idea why negative pressre existed in the liquid box shows negative pressre existed. Is there anything wrong with my input file?

Besides, how can I tell the vapour-liquid equilibrium has been reached? I use averaged Widom chemical potential and averaged pressure to identify the equilibrium state, am I right?

Thanks in advance!

So if I want to obtain water adsorption isotherm, I should do the followings:

1. calculate different fugacity values with corresponding relative humidity values
2. input these calculated increasing fugacity using command 'ExternalPressure'
3. set the value of 'FugacityCoefficient' to 1 rather 0

Is this right?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Prof. Dubbeldam,

1. I would like to use SPC/E water model in RASPA and I checked the TIP5P model mentioned in Example/Non-basics/MD_NPT_water.

However, the critical parameters given there of Tip5p water model doesn't match neither the experimental data of water vapour nor the simulation data[1].

Could you tell me how to determine these parameters for SPC/E model?

2. If I want to simulate water adsorption at different relative humidity, the vale of 'ExternalPressure' should be calculated form the correponding saturated vapour pressure of SPC/E model or the experiment data?

Kind regards,
Jianbo
