Abstract
The symmetric nuclear and neutron matter equation of state at finite temperature are calculated in the frame of the Thomas-Fermi approximation using the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction of Myers and Swiatecki. By introducing an effective mass in distribution function as a variational parameter, the effect of temperature on pressure, entropy, specific heat capacity, incompressibility and binding energy is discussed. A critical temperature of 17.2 MeV and a critical exponent of 0.32 for symmetric nuclear matter is found and we find that there is no phase transition in the neutron matter system. The results of calculations are in good agreement with experimental prediction and other theoretical results.
