Computation of some thermodynamic properties of helium–neon and helium–krypton fluid mixtures using molecular dynamics simulation

We have performed molecular dynamics simulations to obtain internal energy and pressure of helium–neon and helium–krypton mixtures at different densities using accurate recently two-body ab initio potentials supplemented by quantum corrections following the Feynman–Hibbs approach. The significance of this work is that the three-body expression of Wang and Sadus [22] was used to improve prediction of the pressures and internal energies of helium + krypton and helium + neon mixtures without requiring an expensive three-body calculation. Our results show a good agreement with the corresponding experimental data.
