Abstract
The recently proposed universal relations between the moments of the polydi spersity distributions of a phase-separated weakly polydisperse system are analyzed in detail using the numerical results obtained by solving a simple density functional theory of a polydisperse fluid. It is shown that univer sal properties are the exception rather than the rule.
