In eqn. 2.15, the first term is the ideal free energy of the mixture of chain fluids.
Hence, the residual helmholtz free energy of a mixture of hard chain fluids from
SAFT-HS is given as

Ghonasgi and Chapman [80] and independently Chang and Sandier [81] proposed
a modification of the expressions for the free energy contribution due to chain con-
nectivity [80]. Ghonasgi and Chapman labeled the resulting equation of state SAFT-
Dimer (or SAFT-D for short). The change to the chain term (Acfcam) is schematically
illustrated in figure 2.3, and consists in the addition of an extra step in the deriva-
tion of the expression for the free energy contribution due to chain connectivity. In
SAFT-HS, all the bonds between segments are formed simultaneously, and are thus
equivalent. In SAFT-D, dimers are formed in a first step from the mixture of hard
