Ninth and Tenth Order Virial Coefficients for Hard Spheres in D Dimensions
We evaluate the virial coefficients Bk for k ≤ 10 for hard spheres in dimensions D = 2, · · · , 8. Virial coefficients with k even are found to be negative when D ≥ 5. This provides strong evidence that the leading singularity for the virial series lies away from the positive real axis when D ≥ 5. Further analysis provides evidence that negative virial coefficients will be seen for some k > 10 ...
متن کاملClosed virial equations for hard parallel cubes andsquares
A correlation between maxima in virial coefficients (Bn), and “kissing” numbers for hard hyper-spheres up to dimension D = 5, indicates a virial equation and close-packing relationship. Known virial coefficients up to B7, both for hard parallel cubes and squares, indicate that the limiting differences Bn – B(n-1) behave similar to spheres and disks, in the respective expansions relative to maxi...
متن کامل3 Analytic calculation of B 4 for hard spheres in even dimensions
We exactly calculate the fourth virial coefficient for hard spheres in even dimensions for D = 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
متن کاملAn Improved Correlation for Second Virial Coefficients of Pure Fluids
In the present work, a modified correlation is presented for the second virial coefficients of both polar and nonpolar fluids based on the corresponding states principle. The second virial coefficients of gaseous polar and non-polar compounds were calculated and compared with experimental data and with other correlations. Comparisons with the existing correlations show that the present work is ...
متن کاملOn the relation between virial coefficients and the close-packing of hard disks and hard spheres.
The question of whether the known virial coefficients are enough to determine the packing fraction η(∞) at which the fluid equation of state of a hard-sphere fluid diverges is addressed. It is found that the information derived from the direct Padé approximants to the compressibility factor constructed with the virial coefficients is inconclusive. An alternative approach is proposed which makes...
