چکیده
We derive an exact, analytic expression for the fourth virial coefficient of a system of polydisperse spheres under the constraint that the smallest sphere has a radius smaller than a given function of the radii of the three remaining particles.

Exact analytic expression for a subset of fourth virial coe cients of polydisperse hard sphere mixtures
It is surprisingly di cult to calculate analytic expressions for virial coe cients. Even the exact calculation of the second virial coe cient is in general extremely di cult. If particles have no other interaction than hard core repulsion, things are slightly easier. In the isotropic phase, the second virial coe cient B 2 of two arbitrary, convex particles A and B can be determined by [1]
متن کاملRescaled density expansions and demixing in hard-sphere binary mixtures.
The demixing transition of a binary fluid mixture of additive hard spheres is analyzed for different size asymmetries by starting from the exact low-density expansion of the pressure. Already within the second virial approximation the fluid separates into two phases of different composition with a lower consolute critical point. By successively incorporating the third, fourth, and fifth virial ...
متن کاملScattering functions for multicomponent mixtures of charged hard spheres , including the polydisperse limit . Analytic expressions in the Mean Spherical Approximation
We present a closed analytical formula for the scattering intensity from charged hard sphere fluids with any arbitrary number of components. Our result is an extension to ionic systems of Vrij’s analogous expression for uncharged hard sphere mixtures. Use is made of Baxter’s factor correlation functions within the Mean Spherical Approximation (MSA). The polydisperse case of an infinite number o...
متن کاملDimensional interpolation of hard sphere virial coefficients
We examine the dependence on spatial dimension D of the Mayer cluster integrals that determine the virial coefficients B, for a fluid of rigid hyperspheres. The integrals vary smoothly with D, and can be characterized analytically in both the low-D and high-D limits. Dimensional interpolation (DI) allows one to evaluate individual Mayer cluster integrals at D = 2 and D = 3 to within about 1%. T...
متن کاملScaled particle theory for hard sphere pairs. I. Mathematical structure.
We develop an extension of the original Reiss-Frisch-Lebowitz scaled particle theory that can serve as a predictive method for the hard sphere pair correlation function g(r). The reversible cavity creation work is analyzed both for a single spherical cavity of arbitrary size, as well as for a pair of identical such spherical cavities with variable center-to-center separation. These quantities l...
