We present the second part of a two-part paper series intended to address a gap in computational capability for coarse-grain particle modeling and simulation, namely, the simulation of phenomena in which diffusion via mass transfer is a contributing mechanism. In part 1, we presented a formulation of a dissipative particle dynamics method to simulate interparticle mass transfer, termed generalized energy-conserving dissipative particle dynamics with mass transfer (GenDPDE-M). In the GenDPDE-M method, the mass of each mesoparticle remains constant following the interparticle mass exchange. In part 2 of this series, further verification and demonstrations of the GenDPDE-M method are presented for mesoparticles with embedded binary mixtures using the ideal gas (IG) and van der Waals (vdW) equation-of-state (EoS). The targeted readership of part 2 is toward practitioners, where applications and practical considerations for implementing the GenDPDE-M method are presented and discussed, including a numerical discretisztion algorithm for the equations-of-motion. The GenDPDE-M method is verified by reproducing the particle distributions predicted by Monte Carlo simulations for the IG and vdW fluids, along with several demonstrations under both equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions. GenDPDE-M can be generally applied to multi-component mixtures and to other fundamental EoS, such as the Lennard-Jones or Exponential-6 models, as well as to more advanced EoS models such as Statistical Associating Fluid Theory.
