Perturbation theory for equilibrium properties of a binary mixture of hard discs

Abstract

The radial distribution function (RDF) and thermodynamic properties of a two-dimensional hard-disc mixture are calculated by using the perturbation theory. Numerical results are given for theRDF, pressure and excess-free energy of the binary mixture of both additive and non-additive hard discs. It is found that the thermodynamic properties of the binary mixture of non-additive hard discs increase with Δ, the non-additive parameter.
