Abstract: | Using a homologous series of n-alkanes as a model system, we compare the predictions of a lattice Born-Green-Yvon (BGY) theory and a continuum BGY theory with experimental results. We find that both theories are capable of describing the fluid properties and critical points of alkanes ranging from heptamers (n-C7) to nonadecamers (n-C19). We probe the connection between the lattice and continuum BGY models and extend our discussion to include a sampling of other lattice and continuum treatments. |
