This study models water molecules as trimers on a triangular lattice, exploring interactions and thermodynamics using Monte Carlo simulations. Entropic sampling proved most efficient for determining system entropy and free energy.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • Water molecule interactions are complex and crucial for its unique properties.
  • Statistical models provide a framework for understanding macroscopic behavior from molecular interactions.
  • Lattice models simplify molecular arrangements for computational analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and investigate a statistical model of water molecules as trimers on a triangular lattice.
  • To explore the effects of excluded volume, van der Waals, and hydrogen bond interactions.
  • To determine the thermodynamic properties of the system using advanced simulation techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Monte Carlo simulations in canonical and grand canonical ensembles.
