Conclusions

We see that it is possible to obtain various approximate descriptions of the liquid, which describe it's thermodynamics properties to a certain extent, but, none of them is really better than the other. And the empirical approaches, like Padè approximants, or empirical mixing of different approximations remain the most commonly used tool for calculating their thermodynamic properties.

Sorry, no happy end this time...
