Equation of state for the hard tetrahedron fluid at stable state

Abstract

Based on the previous works [J. X. Tian, Y. X. Gui and A. Mulero, J. Phys. Chem. B 114, 13399 (2010); Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 12, 13597 (2010)], we constructed a new equation of state for the hard tetrahedron (HTH) fluid at stable state by using the recently published Monte Carlo simulation data [J. Kolafa and S. Labík, Mol. Phys. 113, 1119 (2015)]. It can reproduce the correct virial coefficients upto nine, which is the known highest order of virial coefficient for HTH fluid. It also describes the simulation data of the compressibility factor versus the packing fraction at stable state with high accuracy.
