Abstract
The virial equation of state is a convenient and useful expression for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of gases. Although statistical mechanical considerations permit the theoretical determination of virial coefficients in terms of certain hypothetical intermolecular potential energy, the actual calculations are so tedious that many empirical expressions have been proposed for practical purpose.
This work presents a different theoretical deviation of virial coeffcients in analytical forms. It is based on the extended thermodynamics recently proposed by Liu & Müller [1].
