The energy of molecular interaction for all fluids is represented by means of a single relation which takes into account both the excluded volume Vτ and the free volume (V-Vτ ).
From this expression, we obtain a single equation of state which is in very close agreement with the representation of experimental results for all fluids both in the liquid and gaseous phase and over wide ranges of temperature and pressure.
The generalisation of the study on different fluids allows following the variation of the excluded volume Vτ as function of molar volume and temperature...
Keywords: internal energy, equation of state, heat capacity Cv, liquid and gas phase, critical conditions
