Abstract

Accurate descriptions of reference systems are a central task in liquid-state theories for the study of more complex systems. Using scaled particle theory (SPT), we derive a fully analytical description of the thermodynamic properties of a hard-sphere (HS) fluid confined in size-polydisperse HS random porous media, extending the existing approaches to higher matrix packing fractions. We calculate chemical potentials for a wide range of porousmatrix parameters, including the matrix packing fraction, degree of polydispersity, and particle-size distributions. Within the proposed framework, our results show excellent agreement with available Monte Carlo simulations and previous integral-equation theories over a broad range of matrix packing fractions, 0.1 ≤ η₀≤ 0.3, and degrees of polydispersity.
