(color online) (a) The internal energy and (b) the expansion work at different temperature T from MD simulations (dot), our method (solid line), and MHD (dash line) for the systems composed of 500 Ar atoms in a density of . The relative deviations of MHD (red dot) and our method (black dot) are shown in the inset.
