摘要
A very simple statistical geometric approach is devised that allows the derivation of a formula for the work to create a spherical cavity in a liquid consisting of spherical molecules in the small cavity size limit. This formula exactly corresponds to the general expression for the work of cavity creation provided by scaled particle theory. The origin of the success of the present statistical geometric approach needs further insight. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
