Abstract

The cell-cluster theory of the liquid state, developed in two previous papers 1) 2), is applied here to a fluid of hard elastic spheres. The corrections introduced by considering cell-clusters of two cells are investigated. The double cell partition function is calculated in an approximate way and the influence on the entropy and the equation of state is studied. The results of the cell-cluster theory for the equation of state are compared with the recent Monte-Carlo calculations for a hard sphere fluid by Rosenbluth and Rosenbluth 3).
