Transport coefficients of square-well fluids

We analyze the analytical form of the velocity time correlation function of a hard sphere system obtained by employing generalized Langevin equation for a square-well fluid. The self-diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity have been calculated using this analytical form of velocity tcf for a square-well fluid. The addition of an attractive square-well potential in place of hard sphere leads to a substantial influence on transport coefficients. Unlike harmonic model diffusion coefficient no longer vanishes. A breakdown of the Stokes–Einstein relation is observed at low densities for a square-well fluid.
