Abstract
A general scheme for developing any semi-empirical molecular-based equation of state is formulated along with several rules which reflect the essentia ls of physics of fluids and which should be observed. Approximations and si mplifications used in the implementation of the scheme are analyzed in the light of these rules and examples showing superiority of molecular-based co nsiderations over purely intuitive or empirical ones are presented.
