Abstract
The accuracy of several theories for the thermodynamic properties of hard-sphere Yukawa chain fluids, was studied. The polymer mean spherical approximation (PMSA), the dimer version of thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPTD), and the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable attractive range (SAFT-VR), were considered. The predictions from these theories were compared with Monte Carlo simulation data for pressure volume temperature and phase behavior of one- and two-Yukawa chain fluids of different length. It was found that the PMSA and TPTD produced more accurate predictions, with PMSA being slightly more accurate.
