Exact solution of the mean spherical model for fluids of non-spherical molecules : inclusion of angle-dependent repulsive potentials. I

Abstract

The mean spherical model is solved in closed form for a fluid of hard spheres together with short-range angle-dependent repulsion and long-range multipole attraction, both of even parity. The solution is expressed in terms of the inverse Laplace transform of a function in Laplace space and a number of constants which must be found numerically.
