Example Use of Molecular Simulation 3.

• Interacting particles

  • hard spheres
  • particles move at constant velocity until collision with another disk or a wall
  • elastic collisions
  • cannot solve for exact EOS

• Approximate EOS

  • Percus-Yevick
    virial
    
    
    compressibility
    
    
  • Cannot compare to experiment to resolve quality of these formulas
