General Free-Energy Expression
We're considering a free-energy function of the following form:
<math>~\mathfrak{G}^*_\mathrm{type}</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~-ax^{-1} + b x^{-3/n} + c x^{-3/j} + \mathfrak{G}_0 \, .</math> |
As we have shown, setting,
<math>~\frac{\partial \mathfrak{G}^*_\mathrm{type}}{\partial x}</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~0</math> |
generates a mathematical statement of virial equilibrium, namely,
