The discussion centers on the computational aspects of thermodynamic integration, specifically for a Lennard-Jones fluid. Participants are seeking solved papers or Python simulations to better understand the integration of the average derivative of coupled potential energy. There is a focus on comparing results for real gases versus ideal gases, with a request for specific scenarios. The need for clarity on how to perform the integration process is emphasized. Overall, the conversation aims to enhance understanding of thermodynamic integration in computational chemistry.

TL;DR
Finding out difference in helmholtz free energy using thermodynamic integration by using a ideal gas system as reference and lennard jones system as our system of interest
If there any solved papers or even python simulations to find this please share
I understood the process of thermodynamic integration but computationally I want to see how this integration of average of derivative of coupled potential energy is done

You want to compare the result for a real gas with that for an ideal gas, right? Any particular scenario you want to look at?

Yeah for a lennard jones fluid, and basically I want to perform a computation of this integration process
But I am not able to understand how this integration is performed

Please provide a specific example of a physical system passing from an initial state to final state.

Thread 'What thermal cycle would describe the action of a candle carousel?'

A candle carousel is a popular holiday time trinket that uses wooden if light metal vanes to rotate and assembly by using the heat created by burning a candle directly underneath. It occurred to me that this is a simple, albeit very inefficient heat engine. It resembles a rudimentary gas turbine in operation. I wondered what thermal cycle would best describe its operation. Since it resembles a gas turbine, the Brayton thermal cycle would seem to best describe it, however the...
