Computer simulation of chemical potentials of ternary hard-sphere fluid mixtures

Abstract

A new version of the scaled particle Monte Carlo (SP-MC) computer simulation method is proposed. It is used to determine chemical potentials of components of ternary mixtures of additive hard-sphere fluids at several densities and compositions. The results are used to test the chemical potentials given by two literature equations of state (EOS). It has been found that the simulation and EOS’s results are in very good agreement with the new data in this work.
