The Vliegenthart-Lekkerkerker relation. The case of the Mie-fluids

الأصل · EN

The Vliegenthart-Lekkerkerker relation for the second virial coefficient value at the critical temperature found in [G. A. Vliegenthart and H. N. W. Lekkerkerker, J. Chem. Phys. 112 5364 (2000)] is discussed in connection with the scale invariant mean-field approach proposed in [V. L. Kulinskii and L. A. Bulavin, J. Chem. Phys. 133 134101 (2010)]. We study the case of the Mie-class potentials which is widely used in simulations of the phase equilibrium of the fluids. It is shown that due to the homogeneity property of the Mie-class potentials it is possible to connect the loci of the fluids with these model potentials in different dimensions.
