where C is the circumference of an ellipse with semi-major axis a and semi-minor axis b and , are the arithmetic and geometric iterations of (,), the arithmetic-geometric mean of a and b with the initial values = and =.
Only one equation of state will not be sufficient to reconstitute the fundamental equation. All equations of state will be needed to fully characterize the thermodynamic system. Note that what is commonly called "the equation of state" is just the "mechanical" equation of state involving the Helmholtz potential and the volume:

There is a large number of perturbation theory based equations of state available today, [23] [24] e.g. for the classical Lennard-Jones fluid. [11] [25] The two most important theories used for these types of equations of state are the Barker-Henderson perturbation theory [26] and the Weeks–Chandler–Andersen perturbation theory. [27]
The first table lists the fundamental quantities used in the International System of Units to define the physical dimension of physical quantities for dimensional analysis. The second table lists the derived physical quantities. Derived quantities can be expressed in terms of the base quantities.
The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.
The result corresponds to 256 / 81 (3.16049...) as an approximate value of π. [3] Book 3 of Euclid's Elements deals with the properties of circles. Euclid's definition of a circle is: A circle is a plane figure bounded by one curved line, and such that all straight lines drawn from a certain point within it to the bounding line, are equal.
The above definition is the approach used to develop rigorous expressions from equations of state (such as Peng–Robinson), which match experimental values so closely that there is little need to develop a database of ratios or C V values. Values can also be determined through finite-difference approximation.
