Chemical potentials of hard sphere solutes in hard sphere solvents. Monte Carlo simulations and analytical approximations

Abstract
We report Monte Carlo simulation results for the excess chemical potentials of infinitely dilute hard spheres, and the distribution of cavity sizes, in a hard sphere fluid. The results are compared with previous simulations and analytical expressions derived from the Boublik-Mansoori-Carnahan-Starling-Leland equation of state and scaled particle theory.
