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:

General methods for free-volume theory
S. M. Oversteegen,Roland Roth +1 more
TL;DR: A general scaled-particle method for convex bodies in terms of the characteristic geometrical measures of the depletion agent, i.e., its volume, surface area, and integrated mean curvature, in mixtures with hard spheres is given.

Phase behavior of semiflexible tangent hard sphere chains
Herb Fynewever,Arun Yethiraj +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the isotropic-nematic phase transition in semi-lexible hard chain fluids was investigated via an Onsager type density functional theory and the angle-dependent excluded volume of two chains required in the theory was obtained via Monte Carlo simulations.

Equation of state for thermodynamic properties of chain fluids near-to and far-from the vapor–liquid critical region
Jianwen Jiang,John M. Prausnitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a crossover equation of state was developed for describing thermodynamic properties of chain fluids, and the crossover equation correctly represents phase equilibria and pVT properties in both regions.

A comprehensive description of chemical association effects on second derivative properties of alcohols through a SAFT-VR approach.
TL;DR: The model is able to reproduce accurately the complex behavior of the isobaric heat capacity of alcohols as, for instance, the maximum versus temperature in the compressed liquid region and in the case of 1-hexanol + n-hexane binary mixtures, the proposed equation is found to capture the association effects on the pressure and temperature dependence of the amine thermal expansivity.

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.

B. J. Alder,T. E. Wainwright +1 more
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.

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.
