Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions - Intermolecular Forces, Structure and Surface Interactions

The statistical mechanical theory of liquids and solutions is a fundamental area of physical sciences with important implications in other fields of science and for many industrial applications. Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions: Intermolecular Forces, Structure and Surface Interactions consists of two volumes on this subject. The first volume introduces equilibrium statistical mechanics in general and statistical mechanics of liquids and solutions at an introductory level and the second volume presents an advanced treatment of the latter subject and penetrates much deeper into liquid state theory.

A major theme in both books is the intimate relationship between forces in a fluid and the fluid structure - a relationship that is paramount for the understanding of the subject of interactions in dense fluids. Using this microscopic, molecular approach, the texts emphasize clarity of physical explanations for phenomena and mechanisms relevant to fluids, address
