A NEW APPROACH TO THE THEORY OF CLASSICAL FLUIDS. III. GENERAL TREATMENT OF CLASSICAL SYSTEMS
Journal Article

· Progr. Theoret. Phys. (Kyoto)
A classical system enclosed in a finite volume and affected by external forces is treated in a general way. The main results are partly applicable to solids as well as to fluids. Exact integral equations are found for the one- and two-particle distribution frnctions. Some thermodynamic functions are expressed in terms of these distribution functions. It is shown that there exist variational principles, which require that the grand partition function is at a maximum with respect to the variations in the one- and twoparticle distribntion functions. Variational principles are found also for the Helruholtz free energy. It is suggested that Mayer's theory of condensation may give the end point of the metastable gaseous state. It is pointed out that a hyper-netted chain approximation has a meaning in solids as well as in fluids. (auth)
