EW

Erpenbeck–Wood repulsion

This is a reference equation of the hard-sphere fluid. As there is no attractive term, it does not make sense to use this EOS for calculations of vapour pressures. But virial coefficients and some single-phase properties are physically meaningful.

adjustable parameters: 1
For technical reasons this EOS had to be implemented with two parameters, but parameter #1 is always ignored.
