Abstract

The second virial coefficient-based statistical thermodynamics of a diluted fluid of rigid particles of regular polygonal shape is discussed. Analytical expressions for the second virial coefficient, surface tension, isothermal compressibility and isothermal speed of sound are derived in this approximation. The obtained results provide analytical guidelines for numerical simulations and modeling studies of two-dimensional (2D) particulate fluids (thin films) widely used in processing of model (nano)composite materials and other technological processes.
