The virial equation of state is used to describe the behavior of diluted gases. It is usually written as an expansion of the compressibility factor, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Z } , in terms of either the density or the pressure. Such an expansion was first introduced in 1885 by Thiesen [1] and extensively studied by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes [2] [3], and mathematically by Ursell [4]. One has

where

Virial coefficients

The second virial coefficient represents the initial departure from ideal-gas behaviour

where Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle N_A} is Avogadros number and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle d\tau_1} and are volume elements of two different molecules in configuration space.

One can write the third virial coefficient as

where f is the Mayer f-function (see also: Cluster integrals). See also [5]

Convergence

For a commentary on the convergence of the virial equation of state see [6] and section 3 of [7].

Quantum virial coefficients

Using the path integral formulation one can also calculate the virial coefficients of quantum systems [8].
