| Abstract: | The distribution functions of a fluid can be expressed as a series in powers, of the density. The coefficient of the fourth power of the density in the expansion of the triplet distribution function is obtained as a function of the separations of the molecules for a fluid of hard spheres. The coefficient is negative. It is used to estimate the amount by which the true triplet distribution function is less than the value attributed to it by the superposition approximation. |
