Exclusion volume molecular interpretation

Equation 3.53 provides a molecular-level interpretation of Eq. 3.50. The exclusion volume, introduced in Eq. 1.9, is related to Eq. 3.53 through the macroscopic definition... 

Figure 6.1 Mayer-Montroll expansion for the insertion probability p(0 X"). The notation here is fairly standard (see, for example, Hansen and McDonald, 1976 Andersen, 1977). The solid lines indicate factors of Mayer / functions introduced in Eq. (6.2) and are further discussed as Ursell functions beginning on p. 126. The inclusion-exclusion interpretation for hard-core cases is that the second term - assesses the m molecular volumes excluded to the...
