Abstract: | Models proposed for theoretical calculations and based on wide-range equations of state of matter are analyzed and compared. It is shown that all previously proposed models of nonideal plasma behavior fall short in terms of accuracy for the equation of state in the range above critical.This work has received financial support from the Fundamental Research Fund, Grant No. 93-012-861 TEFIS (the Computerized Library of Thermophysical Properties of Matter).Deceased.Institute of Mathematical Modeling, Russian Academy of Sciences.
