Overview

Perturbation theory forms an important basis for predicting the thermodynamic characteristics of real fluids and solids. The first book entirely devoted to an extensive review of perturbation theories for the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of classical systems, this volume discusses theories developed in the context of density functional theories (DPT) and those used to deal with polyatomic molecular fluids, such as the statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT). With a focus on practical applications, the author provides guidance on how to use the many variations and applications of perturbation procedures to obtain the thermodynamic and structural properties of fluids and solids.

The book is devoted to an up-to-date description of perturbation theories with respect to thermodynamic equilibrium for fluids and solids. The book will surely be useful to researchers who want to know the up-to-date useful tools for perturbation theories in different phases of fluids and solids. Engineers involved in the use of complex fluids or solids will find in the book some useful tools for the description of the behaviors of these complex systems. The many figures and tables which can be found in the different chapters of the book will help the readers for the comprehension of these tools.
