Abstract
Equimolar mixtures composed of isomers were firstly used to investigate the molecular branching effect on thermal diffusion behavior, which was not disturbed by factors of molecular mass and composition in this work. Eight heptane isomers, including n-heptane, 2-methylhexane, 3-methylhexane, 2,2-dimethylpentane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 2,4-dimethylpentane, 3,3-dimethylpentane and 3-ethylpentane, were chosen as the researched mixtures. A non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation with enhanced heat exchange (eHEX) algorithm was applied to calculate the Soret coefficient at
