The Carnahan-Starling equation of state is an approximate (but quite good) equation of state for the fluid phase of the hard sphere model in three dimensions. (Eqn. 10 in Ref 1).

where:

  • is the pressure
  • is the volume
  • is the number of particles
  • is the absolute temperature

Thermodynamic expressions

From the Carnahan-Starling equation for the fluid phase the following thermodynamic expressions can be derived (Eq. 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 in Ref. 2)

Pressure (compressibility):

Configurational chemical potential:

Isothermal compressibility:

where is the packing fraction.
