#  Description: 
#  ------------
# 
#  This file is a LAMMPS input script for carrying out a NEMD simulation of
#  SPC/E water using the eHEX/a algorithm. The run produces two files:
#  "out.Tspce_ehex" contains the temperature profile and "out.Espce_ehex" the time
#  evolution of the total energy.
