Abstract

An equation of state is proposed for the mixture of hard spheres based on an averaging process over the two results of the solution of the Percus–Yevick integral equation for the mixture of hard spheres. Compressibility and other equilibrium properties of the binary mixtures of hard spheres are calculated and they are compared with the related machine-calculated (Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics) data. The comparison shows excellent agreement between the proposed equation of state and the machine-calculated data.
