Popis: A simple, three-parameter equation is proposed for the free energy of classical fluids composed of molecules which are not hydrogen bonded. Agreement with experiment is much the same as has been obtained from more complicated three-parameter equations. For spherical and nearly spherical molecules, semiquantitative relations between intermolecular pair potential parameters and the parameters of the proposed equation were found. For alkanes, relations between the parameters and carbon number were noted. These relationships contribute to the understanding of fluid state properties in terms of the properties of the molecules of which they are composed.
