Virial Coefficients and Demixing of Athermal Nonadditive Mixtures

Virial coefficients and demixing in the Asakura-Oosawa model.

The problem of demixing in the Asakura-Oosawa colloid-polymer model is considered. The critical constants are computed using truncated virial expansions up to fifth order. While the exact analytical results for the second and third virial coefficients are known for any size ratio, analytical results for the fourth virial coefficient are provided here, and fifth virial coefficients are obtained ...

Virial coefficients of Lennard-Jones mixtures.

We report results of calculations of the second through sixth virial coefficients for four prototype Lennard-Jones (LJ) mixtures that have been the subject of previous studies in the literature. Values are reported for temperatures ranging from T=0.6 to T=10.0, where here the temperature is given units of the LJ energy parameter of one of the components. Thermodynamic stability of the mixtures ...

Molecular-Based Virial Coefficients of CO2-H2O Mixtures

We report second and third virial coefficients for the system CO2-H2O, calculated via cluster integrals using quantitative molecular models taken from the literature. Considered models include (1) fits to highly accurate ab initio calculations of the potential energy surfaces, and (2) semi-empirical Gaussian Charge Polarizable Models (GCPM). Three-body effects are found to be essential for obta...
