Estimation of the chemical potential of the system of hard molecules
For the estimation of the chemical potential of the system of hard rod-like molecules, insertion probability of a molecule into the system is obtained through Monte Carlo simulation. The growth probability of a test molecule from one size to the other size is accumulated to give rough estimation of insertion probability of a molecule into the system of hard spherocylinders. The chemical potential is then obtained as a logarithm of the insertion probability.
