The results are in good agreement with the numerical data and better than those of the well-known Carnahan & Starling equation of state in the domain of validity of the later; moreover this new expression accounts for the singularity which is required for the equation of state at the close random packing limit.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-04-19T17:37:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hard sphere fluid", "semi empirical expression", "virial coefficients", "close random packing limit", "density range" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150408353B" } } }
