Nezbeda equation of state for hard convex bodies: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:54, 20 October 2009

The Nezbeda equation of state (EOS) for hard convex bodies is given by (Eq. 13 in Ref. 1)

Z={\frac {P}{\rho kT}}={\frac {1+(3\alpha -2)y+(\alpha ^{2}+\alpha -1)y^{2}-\alpha (5\alpha -4)y^{3}}{(1-y)^{3}}}

where $y$ is the packing ratio, given by $y=\rho V$ , and

\alpha ={\frac {RS}{3V}}

where $V$ is the volume, $S$ , the surface area, and $R$ the mean radius of curvature.
