Nonadditivity of orientational interactions and perturbation theory for dipole hard spheres

Abstract

The procedure of approximate summation is applied to a series of many-body perturbation theory for the internal energy of a dipolar hard sphere (DHS) fluid to produce an expression similar to the mean field approximation in the Widom-Rowlinson penetrable sphere model, which is well consistent with the experiment at moderate or high densities. Similar results are obtained from the hindered rotation model generalized for arbitrary density. The critical parameters ρc, Pc and Tc of both models are consistent with the data of machine experiments and are close to the parameters of the percolation transition in the DHS system.
