Abstract
The vapor-liquid phase envelope of Mie(14,7) fluids is determined by the Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique. The NVT-MC simulation method is then utilized to compute the equation of state and the pair correlation function over a wide range of densities and temperatures. The effective diameters are calculated via the virial minimization method and the results are applied as the repulsion-attraction splitting distance within the generic van der Waals (GvdW) theory to compute the mean free volume. The density and temperature dependence of these parameters are studied and discussed. The results for the effective diameter, and the GvdW parameters are fitted to analytical functions of density and temperature. An examination of the results for the fluid phase equilibria of argon shows excellent agreement with empirical data for the densities of the coexisting phases, the vapor pressure, and the critical point. The computed free volumes are used to compute the diffusion coefficient of argon and the results are compared with experimental data.
