Abstract

The liquid drop model of an imperfect gas in the form introduced by Wergeland is discussed by using the method of the grand ensembles and the equation of state of the system is derived. This equation of state is of the same general type as the one derived by Mayer for a more general model. It is shown that in both cases the isotherms consist of two analytically different parts in the limit where the number of particles in the system, N, goes to infinity.
