This article explores the van der Waals gas model proposed to describe the hadronic stages of nuclear fireball evolution during the cooling stage. Two different models were proposed for the early and late stages of hadronization. At the initial stage, a two-component meson model consisting of π0 and π+ mesons was suggested, and at the later stage, a two-component nucleon model consisting of protons and neutrons was proposed. The interaction potential for both models was represented by a rectangular well, and the statistical sum was calculated using the saddle-point method. The analytic expressions for pressure and chemical potentials obtained from the model were compared with the corresponding numerical results of other authors obtained earlier using quantum chromodynamics (QCD) methods. The possibility of applying and using the effective chemical potential is also analyzed.
