In the &#039;&#039;&#039;fused hard sphere chain&#039;&#039;&#039; model the &#039;&#039;molecule&#039;&#039; is built up form a string of overlapping [[hard sphere model|hard sphere sites]], each of diameter &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sigma&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

An effective number of monomers can be applied to the fused hard sphere chain model by using the relarion (Ref. 4 Eq. 2.18)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_{\rm effective} = \frac{[1+(m-1)L^*]^3}{[1+(m-1)L^*(3-L^{*2})/2]^2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

L^* \sin{\frac\gamma{2}} \geq \frac{1}{2}\right)&lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;\gamma \leq \pi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the minimal bond angle, and the surface area is given by (Ref. 5 Eq. 12)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Image:FHSC_linear.png|Example of the fused hard sphere chain model, shown here in a linear configuration.|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the &#039;&#039;&#039;fused hard sphere chain&#039;&#039;&#039; model the &#039;&#039;molecule&#039;&#039; is built up form a string of overlapping [[hard sphere model|hard sphere sites]], each of diameter &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sigma&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An effective number of monomers can be applied to the fused hard sphere chain model by using the relarion (Ref. 4 Eq. 2.18)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_{\rm effective} = \frac{[1+(m-1)L^*]^3}{[1+(m-1)L^*(3-L^{*2})/2]^2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &#039;&#039;m&#039;&#039; is the number of monomer units in the model, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;L^*=L/\sigma&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the reduced bond length. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The volume of the fused hard sphere chain is given by (Ref. 5 Eq. 13)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{\rm FHSC} =\frac{\pi \sigma^3}{6}  \left( 1 + (m-1)\frac{3L^*  - L^{*3}}{2} \right)  ~~~~ &lt;br /&gt;
\scriptstyle{&lt;br /&gt;
L^* \leq 1 ~\and~ \left(\gamma=\pi ~ \or ~&lt;br /&gt;
L^* \sin{\frac\gamma{2}} \geq \frac{1}{2}\right)&lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;\gamma \leq \pi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the minimal bond angle, and the surface area is given by (Ref. 5 Eq. 12)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{\mathrm FHSC} = \pi \sigma^2 \left( 1+\left( m-1 \right) L^* \right)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Equation of state==&lt;br /&gt;
The Vörtler and Nezbeda [[Equations of state | equation of state]] is given by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Z_{\mathrm{FHSC}}= 1+ (1+3\alpha)\eta_0(P^*) + C_{\rm FHSC}[\eta_0(P^*)]^{1.83}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;C_{\rm FHSC} = 5.66\alpha(1-0.045[\alpha-1]^{1/2}\eta_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta_0(P^*) = \frac{\sqrt{1+4(1+3\alpha)P^*}-1}{2+6\alpha}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Waziri and Hamad [[Equations of state | equation of state]] is given by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Z_{FHS} = 1 + 4m_{\mathrm{eff}}P^{*} + \frac{3}{4}m_{\mathrm{eff}}P^{*}\ln\left[\frac{3+P^{*}}{3+25P^{*}}\right] + \frac{216(m_{\mathrm{eff}} - 1)P^{*}}{(3+P^{*})(3+25P^{*})\{16+3\ln[(3+P^{*})/(3+25P^{*})]\}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_{\mathrm{eff}}=\frac{2+3(m-1)l^{*}+2(m-1)^{2}l^{*2}+(m-1)l^{*3}}{2+3(m-1)l^{*}-(m-1)l^{*3}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
