two equations for the calculation of surface tension of pure liquids are derived based on statistical thermodyanics by expressing the intermolecular potential as lennard-Jones pair potential.This method is simple,accurate and easy to use.The calculation results for the 22 pure liquids show that these equations are superior to the empirical forula and other theoretical equations.The average relative deviations for these two equations are within 5% and 1.5% respectively.
