Yelash–Kraska chain + vdW attraction
The repulsion term of this EOS gives correct 2nd and 3rd virial coefficients and has its pole at a reasonable packing fraction. The attractive term has ben taken from the van der Waals EOS.
The calculation of volumes for given temperature and pressure leads to a quartic equation.
adjustable parameters: 3
