Evidence for a first-order phase transition at the divergence region of activity expansions

Abstract: On the example of a lattice-gas model, a convincing confirmation is obtained for the direct relationship between the condensation phenomenon and divergent behavior of the virial expansions for pressure and density in powers of activity. The present study analytically proves the pressure equality for the low-density and high-density virial expansions in powers of density (in terms of irreducible cluster integrals or virial coefficients) exactly at the symmetrical points, where their isothermal bulk modulus vani… Show more

“…New equations derived in terms of irreducible cluster integrals (virial coefficients) [9][10][11][12][13] made it possible to establish the applicability limits of the well-known virial expansion for pressure in powers of density (the virial equation of state, VES [6]) and to obtain a general theoretical criterion that exactly determines the saturation point for various systems of interacting particles. The study of the virial expansions for pressure and density in powers of activity with reducible cluster integrals [14,15,18,19] (the virial equation of state in terms of the activity, VESA [6,13]) completely confirmed those results (obtained in terms of irreducible integrals) and even demonstrated a potential possibility to determine the boiling point in the framework of the Mayer cluster approach [15].…”

“…the symmetry of its binodal, the gas-liquid coexistence curve) and additionally confirmed [19,20] the results presented above for the saturation point. Furthermore, it has been proved very recently that the pressure and activity are identical at the saturation and boiling points for both pairs of symmetric equations (VESA-SVESA and VES-SVES) [14]. Besides that, a general expression was obtained for the phase transition activity.…”

“…In these regimes, the neglecting of the volume dependence for high-order cluster integrals (and, even, the neglecting of those integrals themselves) does not lead to any loses of accuracy at the thermodynamic limit (N → ∞; V → ∞). This fact has recently obtained a strict confirmation [15] for various lattice-gas models and, in particular, the Lee -Yang model [16].…”
