摘要:

尺寸和分子结构在热传导原理中起着关键作用。纳米尺度系统内溶液的维度特征取决于受限程度。然而,这类变化对传热的影响仍未得到充分理解。在此,我们开展准一维非平衡分子动力学模拟,以计算受限在碳纳米管中的水分子的热导率。水分子的结构由纳米管半径决定,按照半径增大的顺序,依次形成单链、单层和双层结构。我们揭示,仅当水分子形成单链时,液态水的热导率对纳米管长度具有次线性依赖。更强的受限会使其行为和结构特征更接近一维性质。此外,单层结构的水分子表现出增强的热导率。我们阐明,这是由于局部水密度增加,且不存在向另一层的转变;这种转变通常发生在半径相对较大的纳米管中具有双层水结构的系统内。

英文摘要:

Dimensions and molecular structure play pivotal roles in the principle of heat conduction. The dimensional characteristics of solution within nanoscale systems depend on the degrees of confinement. However, the influence of such variations on heat transfer remains inadequately understood. Here, we perform quasi-one-dimensional non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the thermal conductivity of water molecules confined in carbon nanotubes. The structure of water molecules is determined depending on the nanotube radius, forming a single-file, a single-layer, and a double-layer structure, corresponding to an increasing radius order. We reveal that the thermal conductivity of liquid water has a sublinear dependency on nanotube length exclusively when water molecules form a single file. Stronger confinement leads to behavioral and structural characteristics closely resembling a one-dimensional nature. Moreover, single-layer-structured water molecules exhibit enhanced thermal conductivity. We elucidate that this is due to the increase in the local water density and the absence of transitions to another layer, which typically occurs in systems with double-layer water structures within relatively large radius nanotubes.
