Parameters of the Liquid-Gas-State Triangle for Hard-Core Attractive Yukawa Fluids.

Abstract

We discuss the triangle of the liquid-gas concept within the fluid-lattice gas isomorphism approach and the Zeno-element, taking the hard-core Yukawa fluid (HCAYF) as an example. The applicability of such an isomorphism is demonstrated by the symmetrization of binodals with mapping onto the Ising model coexistence curve. We show that the parameters of the isomorphism transformation reflect the liquid-phase instability for hard-core Yukawa potential and its generalization. We also provide a simple mean-field estimate for the parameter z of the fluid-lattice gas transformation and use it to obtain the locus of the critical point.
