Contact pair correlation functions and equation of state for additive hard disk fluid mixtures.

The contact pair correlation functions and the equation of state for a binary mixture of additive hard disks is obtained using a procedure similar to that leading to the Boublı´k–Mansoori–Carnahan–Starling–Leland equation of state for mixtures of additive hard spheres. The results from the derived equations are tested against new Monte Carlo data obtained for several diameter ratios and mole fractions. The overall agreement is excellent. The equation of state reproduces exactly the second virial coefficient of the mixture and the third with great accuracy. Predicted values of the fourth and fifth virial coefficients are also in very good agreement with numerical data. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
