Abstract

Pairwise additive third virial coefficients for axially symmetric multipolar molecules have been calculated using a non-product multidimensional integration formula. Results for the Stockmayer potential agree with the corrected results of Rowlinson. It is found that the inclusion of the dipole-quadrupole and quadrupole-quadrupole terms in the potential function has a marked qualitative effect on the shape of the C-T curve. Values of the third virial coefficient for water vapour calculated using a potential function derived from gaseous viscosity and second virial coefficient data are in good agreement with the experimental values.
