TLDR
In this paper, a new equation of state for rigid spheres has been developed from an analysis of the reduced virial series, which possesses superior ability to describe rigid-sphere behavior compared with existing equations.
Abstract
A new equation of state for rigid spheres has been developed from an analysis of the reduced virial series. Comparisons with existing equations show that the new formula possesses superior ability to describe rigid‐sphere behavior.

On understanding microemulsions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured interfacial tension using the spinning drop technique in two-phase oil/water (O/W) systems containing SDS, n-pentanol, NaCl, cyclohexane, and water.

Thermoelectricity and thermodiffusion in charged colloids

TL;DR: The Seebeck and Soret coefficients of ionically stabilized suspension of maghemite nanoparticles in dimethyl sulfoxide are experimentally studied as a function of nanoparticle volume fraction and may be used to improve the thermoelectric coefficients in liquid thermocells.

Analytical implementation and critical tests of fluid thermodynamic perturbation theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized class of generalized Lennard-Jones potential functions with independently adjustable repulsive and attractive length scales were used to express the thermodynamic properties of pure fluids in analytical and/or algebraic form.

Towards a molecular theory for the van der waals–maxwell description of fluid phase transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, the reference interaction site model (RISM) integral equation approach complemented with the new closure was proposed, successful over a wide range of density from gas to liquid.

Effect of three-body forces on the phase behavior of charged colloids

TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo simulations for isolated colloidal triplets in equilateral configurations show that, while the three-body force is repulsive when the three particles are near contact, it becomes short-ranged attractive at further separations, contrary to a previous study where the triplet force is attractive at all separations.

Analysis of Classical Statistical Mechanics by Means of Collective Coordinates

TL;DR: In this paper, the three-dimensional classical many-body system is approximated by the use of collective coordinates, through the assumed knowledge of two-body correlation functions, and a self-consistent formulation is available for determining the correlation function.

Statistical Mechanics of Rigid Spheres

TL;DR: In this article, an equilibrium theory of rigid sphere fluids is developed based on the properties of a new distribution function G(r) which measures the density of rigid spheres molecules in contact with a rigid sphere solute of arbitrary size.

Studies in Molecular Dynamics. II. Behavior of a Small Number of Elastic Spheres

TL;DR: In this article, the equation of state and the collision rate for systems ranging in size from four to 500 particles are described, and the dependence of the results on the number of particles is qualitatively discussed and insight is gained as to what is required of more accurate analytical theories.

Fifth and Sixth Virial Coefficients for Hard Spheres and Hard Disks

TL;DR: In this paper, the modified stars contain both Mayer f functions and f functions (f≡f+1) and it is shown that the number of topologically distinguishable graphs occurring in the new expressions is about half the number required in previous expressions.
