The Corresponding-States Principle and its Practice: Thermodynamic, Transport and Surface Properties of FluidsThe corresponding-states principle helps the understanding and calculating of thermodynamic, transport, and surface properties of substances in various states, required by our modern lifestyle. The Corresponding-States Principle and its Practice: Thermodynamic, Transport and Surface Properties of Fluids describes the origins and applications of the principle from a universal point of view with comparisons to experimental data where possible. It uses the universal theory to explain present theories. Emphasis is on the properties of pure systems, and the corresponding-states theory can also be extended to mixtures, which are treated as pure systems. Furthermore, the author discusses current progress, and shows technicians how to derive practical equations from molecular modeling. The Corresponding-States Principle and its Practice: Thermodynamic, Transport and Surface Properties of Fluids is the ideal handbook for those in chemical science and engineering related to energy, environment, natural gas, and petroleum. * Describes the origins and applications from a universal viewpoint* Includes experimental data for comparisons * Suitable for researchers, applied engineers, and those interested in the corresponding states theory |

Page 9 - Trans. 1869, p. 575) has shown that the ordinary gaseous and ordinary liquid states are only widely separated forms of the same condition of matter, and may be made to pass into one another by a course of continuous physical changes presenting nowhere any interruption or breach of continuity.
Page 19 - ... conditions 1 to 3 are fulfilled there is no a priori reason why condition 4 should be fulfilled. In fact there is good reason to suppose that it does not hold accurately. The assumption is, however, accurate for large values of r where the intermolecular potential energy w is proportional to -r~*. Moreover, many macroscopic properties are insensitive to the precise form of the relation between w and r for small r. Consequently, assumption 4, though not rigorously true, turns out to be a useful...
Page 11 - With this view consider an infinitely thin column in the boundary layer, and imagine a part of space below this layer, within the body, containing every molecule that could attract the column. If in this space there were a molecule at rest, we should require to know the law of force to be able to estimate its attraction on the column. But if this molecule is in motion, and can occupy any part of the space indifferently, the above difficulty for the most part disappears ; and we can take the attraction...

The particles for which the forces may be put equal to zero constitute a priori by far the greater part of the mass, leaving only a comparatively small number on which uncompensated forces act. These last lie on the boundary and form a layer whose thickness is the radius of the sphere of action; and the forces on these particles are directed inwards. If about one such particle we describe the sphere...

However, this will exclude hydrogen and helium from consideration and make doubtful a few other cases including neon. Second, it will be assumed that the molecules are spherically symmetrical, either actually or by virtue of rapid and free rotation.
