Liquids and Liquid Mixtures, Third Edition explores the equilibrium
properties of liquids and liquid mixtures and relates them to the
properties of the constituent molecules using the methods of
statistical thermodynamics. Topics covered include the critical state,
fluid mixtures at high pressures, and the statistical thermodynamics
of fluids and mixtures. This book consists of eight chapters and
begins with an overview of the liquid state and the thermodynamic
properties of liquids and liquid mixtures, including vapor pressure
and heat capacities. The discussion then turns to the thermodynamics
of and inequalities at the critical point; measurement of
thermodynamic functions in the critical region; experimental values of
the critical exponents; and scaling of the free energy. The change of
thermodynamic functions with composition is the subject of the next
two chapters, followed by an analysis of fluid mixtures at high
pressures. The final chapter is devoted to the statistical
thermodynamics of fluids and mixtures, paying particular attention to
the thermodynamic properties in terms of the forces between the
molecules; the balance of intermolecular potentials between like and
unlike molecules; and phase behavior. This monograph will be of
interest to students and researchers in the fields of chemistry and
chemical engineering.
