Publisher's Synopsis
This research level monograph concentrates on the statistical mechanics of fluid systems in equilibrium. The approach is classical. It shows how macroscopic properties of matter and its molecular structure can be calculated from the known laws governing the motion of particles and their known interaction potential. Dealing predominantly with liquids, the treatment of gases is included as a specific example.
Accessible to both experimentalists and theorists, chapters can be referred to independently making this a useful handbook.
A valuable monograph for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of statistical physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering and theoretical chemistry.
