The dynamics of fission of excited nuclei has been studied by solving four-dimensional Langevin equations with dissipation generated through the chaos-weighted wall and window friction formula. The projection of the total spin of the compound nucleus to the symmetry axis, K, was considered as the ulations. The average pre-scission neutron multiplicities, mean
kinetic energy of fission fragments and the variances of the mass and kinetic energy have been calculated in a wide range of fissile parameter for compound nuclei 162Yb, 172Yb, 215Fr, 224Th, 248Cf, 260Rf and results compared with the experimental data. Calculations were performed with a constant dissipation coefficient of K, K = 0.077 (MeVzs)?1/2, and with a non-constant dissipation coefficient. Comparison
of the theoretical results for the average pre-scission neutron multiplicities, mean kinetic energy of fission
fragments and the variances of the mass and kinetic energy with the experimental data showed that the
results of four-dimensional Langevin equations with a non-constant dissipation coefficient are in better agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, the difference between the results of two models for compound nuclei with low fissile parameter is low whereas, for heavy compound nuclei, is high.
