Summary: | Phase equilibria of fluids with variable size polydispersity have been investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. In the models, spherical particles of different additive diameters interact through Lennard-Jones and hard sphere Yukawa intermolecular potentials and the underlying distribution of particle sizes is a Gaussian. The Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo technique has been applied to determine the phase coexistence far below the critical temperature. Critical points have been estimated by finite-size scaling analysis using histogram reweighting for NpT simulation data. In order to achieve efficient sampling in the vicinity of the critical points, the hyper-parallel tempering scheme has been utilized. |
