Fluid-fluid phase separation in hard spheres with a bimodal size distribution
– The effect of polydispersity on the phase behaviour of hard spheres is examined using a moment projection method. It is found that the Boublik-Mansoori-Carnahan-StarlingLeland equation of state shows a spinodal instability for a bimodal distribution if the large spheres are sufficiently polydisperse, and if there is sufficient disparity in mean size between the small and large spheres. The sp...
متن کاملCompetition of percolation and phase separation in a fluid of adhesive hard spheres.
Using a combination of Monte Carlo techniques, we locate the liquid-vapor critical point of adhesive hard spheres. We find that the critical point lies deep inside the gel region of the phase diagram. The (reduced) critical temperature and density are tau(c)=0.1133+/-0.0005 and rho(c)=0.508+/-0.01. We compare these results with the available theoretical predictions. Using a finite-size scaling ...
متن کاملEquilibrium fluid-solid coexistence of hard spheres.
We present a tethered Monte Carlo simulation of the crystallization of hard spheres. Our method boosts the traditional umbrella sampling to the point of making practical the study of constrained Gibbs' free energies depending on several crystalline order parameters. We obtain high-accuracy estimates of the fluid-crystal coexistence pressure for up to 2916 particles (enough to accommodate fluid-...
متن کاملDense fluid transport for inelastic hard spheres.
The revised Enskog theory for inelastic hard spheres is considered as a model for rapid flow granular media at finite densities. A normal solution is obtained via the Chapman-Enskog method for states near the local homogeneous cooling state. The analysis is performed to first order in the spatial gradients, allowing identification of the Navier-Stokes order transport coefficients associated wit...
متن کاملFluid-fluid transitions of hard spheres with a very-short-range attraction
Hard spheres with an attraction of range a tenth to a hundredth of the sphere diameter are constrained to remain fluid even at densities when monodisperse particles at equilibrium would have crystallized, in order to compare with experimental systems that remain fluid. They are found to have a fluid-fluid transition at high density. As the range of the attraction tends to zero, the density at t...
