Abstract
Canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulations and the non-uniform Percus- Yevick (NPY) equation for the local density are used to study the infl uence of surface mediated third-order interactions on the adsorption o f associating hard spheres on a hard wall. A comparison of the NPY den sity profiles with the computer simulations data indicates that this a pproximation predicts the fluid structure reasonably well.
