This paper presents a new equation of state for the square-well fluid based on perturbation theory. This equation has the exact second virial coefficient behavior, converges to the correct mean-field behavior at high densities, and accurately interpolates between the two limits. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate the limiting behavior of the theory in the dilute-gas regime. Comparison of the theory with the simulation results shows excellent agreement between the equation-of-state predictions and the data.
