Nezbeda equation of state for hard convex bodies

The Nezbeda equation of state (EOS) for hard convex bodies is given by (Eq. 13 in Ref. 1)

$Z={\frac {P}{\rho kT}}={\frac {1+(3\alpha -2)y+(\alpha ^{2}+\alpha -1)y^{2}-\alpha (5\alpha -4)y^{3}}{(1-y)^{3}}}$

where $y$ is the packing ratio, given by $y=\rho V$, and

$\alpha ={\frac {RS}{3V}}$

where $V$ is the volume, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle S} , the surface area, and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle R} the mean radius of curvature.
