Abstract

We show that the computer simulation ‘colour-conductivity’ experiment that is used in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to determine the kinetic part d of the mutual-diffusion coefficient of a binary mixture of non-electrolytes may be interpreted as a sedimentation experiment. Correspondingly, the expression that relates the colour conductivity to d is a special case of the Svedberg relation.
