Abstract
A straightforward derivation for the configurational temperature associated with the orientational Omega (N) portion of the configurational phase spac e of the molecules in an open system is presented. Explicit relationships a re given for determining the configurational temperatures in classical simu lations of molecular liquids, such as water, and their forms and their eval uation discussed.
