The first rigorous quantum calculation of virial coefficients was developed by Fosdick and Jordan (17-19) who derived a path-integral expression for the third virial coefficient in the presence of two-body pairwise additive forces, and showed in detail how to evaluate it numerically in the case of a simple Lennard-Jones model for He.
1]), and the virial coefficients are functions of temperature only, and equations for their calculation are given in Hyland and Wexler (1980).
The closing chapters list enthalpy changes in polymer solutions at elevated pressures, PVT data of some selected polymers and their solutions, and second virial coefficients.
