Modelling Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids With Discrete Potentials

  • Chapter
Developments in Mathematical and Experimental Physics

Abstract

Thermodynamic properties of fluids can be predicted by discretizing real intermolecular interactions and applying a perturbation theory developed for these discrete potentials. The theory requires to know the properties of the building-block fluids, i.e., square-well (SW) and square-shoulder (SS) fluids of variable range. We present applications of this method to fluids formed by chain molecules and calculation of exact second virial coefficients.
