Molecular Models for Fluids
Author Klaus Lucas
Edition First
Publisher Cambridge University Press
Price £55.00
ISBN 9780521852401
This book presents the development of modern molecular models for fluids from the interdisciplinary fundamentals of classical and statistical mechanics, of electrodynamics and of quantum mechanics. The concepts and working equations of the various fields are briefly derived and illustrated in the context of understanding the properties of molecular systems. There is special emphasis on the quantum mechanical basis, since this is used throughout in the calculation of the molecular energy of a system. The book is application oriented and stresses the elements essential for practical model development. The fundamentals are then used to derive models for various types of applications. Finally, equation of state models are presented based on quantum chemically based models for the intermolecular potential energy and perturbation theory.
Statistical Mechanics: From First Principles to Macroscopic Phenomena

Edition First
Publisher Cambridge University Press
Price £35.00 and $52.00 (e-book)
ISBN 9780521825757 and 1254697 (e-book)
This text takes a “reductionist” view of statistical mechanics and is based on the author's graduate course taught over many years in several physics departments. It implicitly assumes that the physics of complex systems as observed is connected to fundamental physical laws represented at the molecular level by Newtonian mechanics or quantum mechanics. There are three parts: the first describes the fundamental principles of equilibrium statistical mechanics; the second describes applications to phases of increasing density and order -- gases, liquids and solids; the final part deals with dynamics, including an account of hydrodynamic theories and linear response theory.
