Tetrahedral hard sphere model: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:05, 12 May 2010

The tetrahedral hard sphere model consists of four hard spheres located on the vertices of a regular tetrahedron.

{\frac {B_{2}^{*}}{4V_{m}^{*}}}=1+{\frac {UL^{*}+VL^{*3}}{4}}

where $L^{*}$ is the reduced elongation, $V_{m}^{*}$ is the corresponding reduced volume, $U=0.72477$ and $V=4.730$ .

The equation of state is given by (^[1] Eq. 17):

{\frac {\beta P}{\rho }}={\frac {1+(1+UL^{*}+VL^{*3})y+(1+WL^{*}+XL^{*4})y^{2}-(1+ZL^{*3})y^{3}}{(1-y)^{3}}}

where $U=0.72477$ , $V=4.730$ , $W=1.3926$ , $X=24.78$ and $Z=7.69$ .
