Dear All usres


I have a system that contains water , methane and propane in 240 k and 300
bar,

My simulation box is rectangular .

Water film is in middle of my box. Methane and propane is around it.

I have a problem, my methane and propane molecules do not diffuse in water
film(even my methane molecules),

I do simulation, 30 nano second

methane molecules = 834
propane molecules = 92
water molecules = 1656

These links is related to md.mdp and .mdp for energy minimization

Why would you expect your alkanes to dissolve in water? The solubility of methane is very small (roughly 0.02 g/kg of water at 25 C, or about 0.0014 M). Given this information, in your very small system, basically no methane molecules would ever partition into the water layer. I didn't do the back-of-the-envelope calculations for propane, but you get the idea.
