A new potential function for liquid helium is obtained by modifying the Margenau potential function and summing over a suggested structure for the liquid. The new potential function leads to fair agreement with the first peak of the radial distribution curve for liquid helium, with the isothermal compressibility, and with second virial coefficient data at high temperatures.

Methods and apparatus used for compressibility measurements of gases in the temperature range 0° to 600 °C. are described. A further method which can be used at temperatures above 600 °C. is also described. Data for some measurements with pure helium at 0° and at 600 °C. are given, from which the values (in Amagat units), 0.527 × 10−3 per atm. ± 0.003 × 10−3 and 0.439 × 10−3 per atm. ± 0.005 × 10−3 were obtained for the second virial coefficient at 0° and 600 °C. respectively.


The interaction energy between argon atoms is correlated with the following experimental properties of argon: (1) the temperature dependence of the entropy of the crystal, (2) the temperature dependence of the energy of the crystal, (3) the temperature dependence of the density of the crystal, (4) the pressure dependence of the density of the crystal, (5) the temperature dependence of the second virial coefficient of the gas, (6) the viscosity at high temperatures of the gas. The interaction energy which best accords with all these properties is strikingly different from the commonly advocated difference between an inverse twelfth power and an inverse sixth power of the distance.

ABSTRACTThe second virial coefficient-based statistical thermodynamics of a diluted fluid of rigid particles of regular polygonal shape is discussed. Analytical expressions for the second virial coefficient, surface tension, isothermal compressibility and isothermal speed of sound are derived in this approximation. The obtained results provide analytical guidelines for numerical simulations and modeling studies of two-dimensional (2D) particulate fluids (thin films) widely used in processing of model (nano)composite materials and other technological processes.
