Abstract

A method for the direct calculation of partial molar volumes, energies, and enthalpies in multicomponent mixtures in which all species have finite concentrations is presented. The approach, which is based on fluctuation theory, allows the simultaneous determination of the properties of all components in the mixture. The advantages and limitations of the method are illustrated through the (N, U, V) molecular dynamics calculation of the mechanical partial molar properties of two binary Lennard-Jones mixtures.
