Abstract:
Normal dynamics in a quasi-one-dimensional channel of length L (→∞) of N hard spheres are analyzed. The spheres are heterogeneous: each has a diffusion coefficient D that is drawn from a probability density function (PDF), W∼D(-γ) for small D, where 0≤γ<1. The initial spheres' density ρ is nonuniform and scales with the distance (from the origin) l as ρ∼l(-α), 0≤α≤1. An approximation for the N-particle PDF for this problem is derived. From this solution, scaling law analysis and numerical simulations, we show here that the mean square displacement for a particle in such a system obeys

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...
