State equation for dense gases and liquids from a self-consistent-field approach

Statistical Mechanics 2011-03-31 v1

Abstract

The departure from ideal gas behavior is described by several known equations of state (EoS), developed from a combination of theoretical considerations and experimental correlations. In this work a different approach is proposed, in which from a pairwise potential of the Lennard-Jones type, interaction between molecules is accounted for by means of a self-consistent force field. An EoS is thus derived and compared to the Virial and to the van der Waals EoS.
