AbstractThe specific heat of liquid metals is calculated using a fluid of Percus-Yevick plus tail as a reference system together with the Cumming potential in a random-phase approximation. It is shown that the improved semi-empirical hard sphere direct correlation function proposed by Colot et al. leads to a drastic improvement of Cp values over the HS model

The solvation force in a hard-sphere fluid is obtained by the denisty functional theory proposed by Rickayzen and Augousti. The direct correlation function (DCF) with the tail introduced by Tang and Lu is used. This DCF (hereafter TL DCF ) is postulated to hold the Yukawa form outside the hard core; and the generalized mean spherical approximation (GMSA) approach has been applied. The results are compared with those obtained by using the Percus-Yevick (PY) DCF. These results are also compared with those of Monte Carlo simulations. At low densities and fairly high densities the results are in agreement. But at high densities there is more oscillation in the solvation force obtained by using TL DCF in comparison with the PY DCF. There are no simulation results at high densities to be compared with these results.PACS No. 61.20

The decay equation, which determines the correlation length and the period of the pair correlation function of a fluid at large distances, is discussed using the Ornstein–Zernike equation when the direct correlation function vanishes rapidly at large distances. The decay equation is solved numerically using the exact hard sphere and sticky hard sphere fluid results from the Percus–Yevick approximation. In the case of the hard sphere fluid, oscillatory decay is always obtained. For the sticky hard sphere fluid, we obtain a locus both in the pressure–temperature plane and the density–temperature plane such that the decay is monotonic inside and oscillatory outside the locus.
