Abstract Physical adsorption is crucial in many industrial processes, prompting researchers to develop new materials for energy‐efficient processes. Porous adsorbents are particularly promising due their design flexibility, and computational screening has accelerated the search optimal materials. Recently, classical density functional theory (cDFT) emerged as a faster alternative state‐of‐the‐art methods. However, its predictions have not been extensively validated, especially involving...

Hydrocarbon pyrolysis is a complex chemical reaction system at extreme temperature and pressure conditions involving large numbers of reactions species. Only two kinds atoms are involved: carbons hydrogens. Its effective description predictions for new settings challenging due to the complexity high computational cost generating data by molecular dynamics simulations. However, ensemble molecules present any moment carbon skeletons these can be viewed as random graphs. Therefore, an adequate...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of complex chemistry typically involves thousands atoms propagating over millions time steps, generating a wealth data. Traditionally these data are used to calculate some aggregate properties the system and then discarded, but we propose that can be reused study related chemical systems. Using approximate kinetic models methods from statistical learning, hydrocarbon chemistries under extreme thermodynamic conditions. We discover single MD contain...

The high computational cost of evaluating atomic interactions recently motivated the development computationally inexpensive kinetic models, which can be parameterized from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations complex chemistry thousands species or other processes and accelerate prediction chemical evolution by up to four orders magnitude. Such models go beyond commonly employed potential energy surface fitting methods in that they are aimed purely at describing effects. So far, such utilize...

We develop a method to construct temperature-dependent kinetic models of hydrocarbon pyrolysis, based on information from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations pyrolyzing systems in the high-temperature regime. MD are currently key tool understand mechanism complex chemical processes such as pyrolysis and observe their outcomes different conditions, but these computationally expensive typically limited nanoseconds simulation time. This limitation is inconsequential at high temperatures, where...
