Abstract In this paper, generalized functions are used in the configuration partition function for fluids composed of arbitrarily shaped, rigid particles. This leads to new expressions for the basic statistical thermodynamic functions and some equations that may be useful in developing approximate theories, such as the scaled particle theory, for such fluids. The results are applicable to a large class of arbitrarily shaped, rigid particles and reduce exactly to the usual hard-sphere expressions.
