Associating fluids with four bonding sites against a hard wall: density functional theory

摘要

We present two new perturbation density functional theories to investigate non-uniform fluids of associating molecules. Each fluid molecule is modelled as a spherical hard core with four highly anisotropic square well sites placed in tetrahedral symmetry on the hard core surface. In one theory we apply the weighting from Tarazona's hard sphere density functional theory to Wertheim's bulk first-order perturbation theory.
