Equations of state for hard-sphere chains: Effect of attractive contribution

초록

Several equations of state for hard-sphere chains with various perturbation terms are reviewed. For each model, three characteristic parameters are required to represent phase equilibria of normal fluids and obtained From thermodynamic properties Of pure saturated liquids. The models are then compared with Computer Simulation data to show the effect of attractive contribution forms employed. Calculated values of vapor-liquid equilibria (VILE) of hydrocarbons that can be reproduced for each model are also compared with experimental results. An additional parameter, zeta(KB), is required to represent the VLE Of pure water, which is ascertained to have a strong influence oil the theoretical coexistence curve.
