A Highly Accurate and Analytic Equation of State for a Hard Sphere Fluid in Random Porous Media
An analytical equation of state (EOS) for a hard sphere fluid confined in random porous media is derived by extending the scaled particle theory to such complex systems with quenched disorders. A simple empirical correction allows us to obtain a highly accurate EOS with errors within the simulation ones. These are the first analytical results for non trivial off-lattice quench-annealed systems.
