The Lebowitz and Percus mean spherical approximation (MSA) (1966) (Ref. 1) closure relation is given by



The Blum and Høye mean spherical approximation (MSA) (1978-1980) (Refs 2 and 3) closure is given by



and

where and are the total and the direct correlation functions for two spherical molecules of i and j species, is the diameter of 'i species of molecule. Duh and Haymet (Eq. 9 Ref. 4) write the MSA approximation as



where and comes from the Weeks-Chandler-Anderson division of the Lennard-Jones potential. By introducing the definition (Eq. 10 Ref. 4)



one can arrive at (Eq. 11 in Ref. 4)



The Percus Yevick approximation may be recovered from the above equation by setting .

Thermodynamic consistency

See Ref. 5.
