Solvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions

In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod- surface interactions are calculated. We investigate weak and strong molecule-surface coupling strengths. The colloids distance effects on density profiles are calculated. We could not find the exact or simulation results for comparison. The results in the case are compared with the Solvation force of hard Gaussian overlap fluid and hard needle- wall interaction. The results are corresponded, qualitatively.
