Abstract
Expressions for the Helmholtz free energy and the chemical potential are derived for fluid mixtures with nonspherical interactions. For the important reference hypernetted chain (RHNC) approximation we can derive explicit formulas. We evaluate the free energy formula for a hard sphere dipole system. The results for the Helmholtz free energy agree well with Monte Carlo simulation.Keywords
