Analytic expressions for the Laplace transform of the interaction energy and force between two exceedingly large hard spheres at infinite dilution in a polydisperse hard-sphere suspending fluid are presented. The equations are based on the Percus-Yevick approximation for the many-component suspending fluid, supplemented by the hypernetted chain approximation for the correlation function of the suspended spheres. By applying the Derjaguin approximation, the energy and force results for two spheres are related to the energy per unit area and the disjoining pressure between two flat walls suspended in a polydisperse fluid. Numerical results for the representative Schultz distributions of the diameters of the species comprising the suspending fluid are presented and discussed.
