摘要

We simulated a flagellum done by C20 with a tail of three carbons atoms. We put this flagellum relaxing inside a carbon atom nanotube. We study the movement due to the force generated by the gradient of van der Waals potential under the variation of initial temperature. The nanotube has 576 carbon atoms and the flagellum has 23 carbon atoms. The periodic movement of this system characterizes a molecular motor. We calculated kinetic energy, potential energy, temperature in situ, molar heat capacity, molar entropy variation, force, velocity versus the initial temperature of this system.
