An analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. Theequation of state is that of Song and Mason. It is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. There exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume, and a scaling factorfor the average contact pair distribution function of hard convex bodies. We used Lennard-Jones (۱۲-۶)potential for calculation temperature-dependent parameters. The equation of state has been applied tocalculate thermodynamic properties including the internal energy, the enthalpy, the entropy, the heat capacityat constant pressure, and the speed of sound for argon. The theoretical results are in good agreement withthe experimental data.
