Homework Statement
The Lennard-Jones potential function [itex] u(r) = 4ε[(σ/r)^12 - (σ/r)^6] [/itex]
If intermolecular interactions are ignored in this calculation for [itex] r > rc [/itex], show that in the mean field approximation in the long range correction [itex] P*LR to the measured pressure is given by:
P*LR / ρ*T* = -16∏ρ*/3T*(r*c)^3 [1- 2/3(rc)^6]
* asterisk denotes MD units
Homework Equations
I'm not exactly sure on the equations to be used. I know the Lennard-Jones potential is the starting point, but I need some help beyond this.
The Attempt at a Solution
Unfortunately I don't know where to go from here, if I just have a little nudge I can probably go from there. Many thanks
