Equation of State (EOS) Thermodynamics Pressure in the equilibrium condition is expressed as a function of other state variables, e. g. volume, temperature, mol number. The equation depends on the system. EOS of the ideal gas Nuclear Equation of State Energy per nucleon of nuclear matter in the equilibrium condition is expressed as a function of nucleon density (r), asymmetry parameter (d), and temperature (T).

Nuclear Equation of State (EOS) EOS for energy per nucleon (at T=0, no Coulomb) EOS of symmetric nuclear matter Saturation Density ~0. 16 fm-3 Symmetry energy originates from 1. stronger attraction in a pn pair than an nn or pp pair. 2. Fermi particle nature. larger number of particles -> occupation of higher orbit.
