Abstract
An attempt is made to show that the local density approximation (LDA) and the Enskog theories are identical, so that in both methods the condensation temperature is defined as the temperature at which a particular sum rule breaks down. Following this, the problem is analyzed with a simple weighted density approximation (WDA). Finally, it is shown how the value μO that appears in the Tc=mgDμφc/μO depends on the approximation.
