O41; The motion of particles in different channel Brownian pumps can be described by Langevin equations,and the pumping capacity is a useful indicator to demonstrate the strength of a pump's transportation ability.Via the simulation,there is always an optimal value of temperature and unbiased external force for different pumps which make the concentration ratio between the right tube and left tube derive its maximum and minimum in two asymmetric tubes respectively.Besides,the concentration ratio will keep 1 regardless of radius,temperature or magnitude of force in the tube in a symmetric tube.To obtain more information about pumping capacity,exploring the average probability current(APC)of tubes in different conditions is necessary.Results indicate that as the concentration ratio is 1,the change of the APC when xo=0 is similar to that when x0=π.Also,when the concentration ratio is more than 1,there are optimal values of temperature,radius and magnitude of force where the APC gains a maximum,and the maximum decreases as the concentration in the right tube increases when x0=0.
