الوصف: A simple model for the friction experienced by the one dimensional water chains that flow through subnanometer diameter carbon nanotubes is studied. The model is based on a lowest order perturbation theory treatment of the friction experienced by the water chains due to the excitation of phonon and electron excitations in both the nanotube and the water chain, as a result of the motion of the chain. On the basis of this model, we are able to demonstrate that the observed flow velocities of water chains through carbon nanotubes of the order of cm/s can be accounted for, if the nanotube is metallic. If it is insulating, however, our calculations imply that the flow velocity of the water could be much larger for the pressure gradient in experimental studies of water flow through subnanometer diameter nanotubes.
