| Abstract: | Molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the transport behavior of water molecules along an open-ended single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) under the driving force of methane molecules. The methane molecules pull the water molecules from the inside of a SWCNT along the axial direction. The transport velocity of water molecules increases with increasing number of methane molecules, but decreases with increasing diameter of the SWCNT. |
