Abstract

The phase behavior of a polydisperse fluid mixtures of charged hard-sphere (CHS) was investigated. The distribution functions of the coexisting daughter phases and their charge distributions were also discussed. The full phase diagram in terms of cloud and shadow curves were calculated. It was shown that the polydisperse fluid mixture of CHS belongs to the class of truncatable free energy models.
