Equation 8.151. The theory was used to predict the surface tension of the LJ fluid, in
excellent agreement with the simulations, and to correlate the experimental data on
the liquid–vapor equilibrium and the surface tension of several alkane and aromatic
compounds.
Another approximation was derived by Tripathi and Chapman (2005a,b) for
homonuclear chains within the framework of the SAFT and was denoted inhomo-
geneous/interfacial SAFT (i-SAFT). The theory, in which the HS contribution is
approximated by the Rosenfeld FMT and the attractive contribution is again treated
in the MF approximation, reduces to the SAFT for the bulk fluid. It was used by
Tripathi and Chapman (2005a,b) to predict the segment density profiles and
