Abstract

A general equation of state for fluids of any number of phases is derived. The equation contains the principal experimental state equations as special cases. The non-additive energies of 3, 4, … particles must also be considered, plus the additive binary energies. In order to derive the isotherm in the vicinity of a critical point, it is found that the equation of state must contain at least three parameters, including the non-additive three-body potential energy. We show how to obtain the interaction spectra of an equation of state for the earth’s mantle.
