We develop the first comprehensive approach to model associating fluids with small bond angles using Wertheim's perturbation theory. We show theoretically and through monte carlo simulations that as bond angle is varied various modes of…
An approximation within Wertheim's second order perturbation theory is proposed which allows for the development of a general solution for pure component fluids with an arbitrary number and functionality of association sites. The solution…
In this paper we develop a thermodynamic perturbation theory for two site associating fluids which exhibit bond cooperativity. We include both steric hindrance and ring formation such that the equation of state is bond angle dependent. Here…
It has been extensively demonstrated through first principles quantum mechanics calculations that water exhibits strong hydrogen bond cooperativity. Classical molecular simulation and statistical mechanics methods typically assume pairwise…
In this paper a new theory is developed for the self - assembly of associating molecules confined to a single spatial dimension, but allowed to explore all orientation angles. The interplay of the anisotropy of the pair potential and the…
A recent mode coupling theory of higher-order correlation functions is tested on a simple hard-sphere fluid system at intermediate densities. Multi-point and multi-time correlation functions of the densities of conserved variables are…
In this work we develop a new classical perturbation theory for water which incorporates the transition to tetrahedral symmetry in both the dispersion and hydrogen bonding contributions to the free energy. This transition is calculated…
First steps towards developing a new perturbation theory for molecular liquids are taken. By choosing a new form of splitting the site-site potential functions between molecules, we will get a set of atomic fluids as the reference system…
We extend Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory to derive the association free energy of a multicomponent mixture for which double bonds can form between any two pairs of the molecules' arbitrary number of bonding sites. This…
An alternative way of utilizing the thermodynamic perturbation theory of Wertheim for the development of equations of state for associating fluid models is presented and detailed for water. The approach makes use of general features of the…
Thermodynamic properties of the particles interacting through smooth version of Stell-Hemmer interaction were studied using Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory. The temperature dependence of molar volume, heat capacity, isothermal…
A mixture of solvent particles with short-range, directional interactions and solute particles with short-range, isotropic interactions that can bond multiple times is of fundamental interest in understanding liquids and colloidal mixtures.…
In this work we extend Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT) to binary mixtures (species A and species B) of patchy colloids where each species has a single patch which can bond a maximum of twice (divalent). Colloids are…
We critically discuss the application of the Wertheim's theory to classes of complex associating fluids that can be today engineered in the laboratory as patchy colloids and to the prediction of their peculiar gas-liquid phase diagrams. Our…
In this work we examine thermodynamics of fluid with "molecules" represented by two fused hard spheres, decorated by the attractive square-well sites. Interactions between these sites are of short-range and cause association between the…
Using the framework of Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory we develop the first density functional theory which accounts for intramolecular association in chain molecules. To test the theory new Monte Carlo simulations are…
Various approaches are reviewed that use scaled particle theories to describe dumbbell fluids made of tangent or overlapped hard spheres. Expressions encountered in the literature are written in a form similar to that presented in the…
A multiscale theory of interacting continuum mechanics and thermodynamics of mixtures of fluids, electrodynamics, polarization and magnetization is proposed. The mechanical (reversible) part of the theory is constructed in a purely…
This document outlines the development of numerous new theoretical approaches to model associating fluids. For a detailed abstract please see page ii.
A simple model of dimerizing hard spheres with highly nontrivial fluid-solid phase behaviour is proposed. The model is studied using the recently proposed resummed thermodynamic perturbation theory for central force (RTPT-CF) associating…
