Abstract
In a classical fluid composed of M similar spherical molecules contained in a volume \(\tilde V\), the molecules are regarded as centres of force situated at points r 1, r 2, ..., r M in \(\tilde V\). The configurational energy is the sum of ½M(M − 1) terms, each representing the interaction energy of a pair of centres and dependent on the distance between them. Thus, the configurational energy is
