摘要
In this letter we present the results of a study on fluid-fluid phase separation in binary mixtures. We have investigated two systems: a mixture interacting through the full alpha-exp-6 potential and a mixture interacting through the repulsive part of the alpha-exp-6 potential. Monte Carlo simulations were performed at 300 kelvin and the interaction parameter values used for the full potential correspond to the mixture helium-hydrogen. The results of the repulsive alpha-exp-6 potential demonstrate clearly that attraction is not necessary for fluid-fluid demixing; its only influence appears to be a shift of the critical pressure. The full alpha-exp-6 results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
