Constructing a new closure theory based on the third-order Ornstein-Zernike equation and a study of the adsorption of simple fluids.
نویسنده
چکیده
The third-order Ornstein-Zernike equation (OZ3) is used in the construction of a bridge functional that improves over conventional liquid-theory closures (for example, the hypernetted chain or the Percus-Yevick equations). The OZ3 connects the triplet direct correlation C((3)) to the triplet total correlation h((3)). By invoking the convolution approximation of Jackson and Feenberg, we are able to express the third-order bridge function B(3) as a functional of the indirect correlation γ. The resulting expression is generalized to higher-order bridge terms. This new closure is tested on the adsorption of Lennard-Jones fluid on planar hard surfaces by calculating the density profiles and comparing with Monte Carlo simulations. Particular attention is paid to the cases where molecular depletion on the substrate is evident. The results prove to be highly accurate and improve over conventional closures.

A three dimensional integral equation approach for fluids under confinement: Argon in zeolites.
In this work, we explore the ability of an inhomogeneous integral equation approach to provide a full three dimensional description of simple fluids under conditions of confinement in porous media. Explicitly, we will consider the case of argon adsorbed into silicalite-1, silicalite-2, and an all-silica analogue of faujasite, with a porous structure composed of linear (and zig-zag in the case o...
متن کاملOn the Buckling Response of Axially Pressurized Nanotubes Based on a Novel Nonlocal Beam Theory
In the present study, the buckling analysis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) on the basis of a new refined beam theory is analyzed. The SWCNT is modeled as an elastic beam subjected to unidirectional compressive loads. To achieve this aim, the new proposed beam theory has only one unknown variable which leads to one equation similar to Euler beam theory and is also free from any shear ...
متن کاملA New Piecewise EOS for Compressibility Factor Prediction Based on the M-factor Theory
In this study for the first time a new description of compressibility factor is rendered based on the virial expansion. The compressibility factor as a function of M-factor is qualitatively and quantitatively expressed. At first, we present how may the third, fourth and higher order virial coefficients be logically ignored in order to simplify the virial equation. The results show, wh...

In this paper, a uniform classical fluid mixture comprising ellipsoidal molecules is studied. This mixture is composed of two types of ellipsoidal molecules interacting through the Gay-Berne potential with different sizes at temperature T. For this system, the Ornstein-Zernike equation using the Percus-Yevick closure relation is solved. Then the direct correlation function, pair correlation fu...
متن کاملLennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory
By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT) based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...
