Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book pioneers an innovative method to assess the molecular potential functions in statistical mechanics. The author presents a theoretical framework to quantify the relationship between model functions and macroscopic experimental properties. The method is applied to four commonly used function families and to equilibrium and transport properties. The results indicate that temperature determines potential function sensitivity, with low and high-temperature data essential to distinguish between functions. Intermediate-range data, however, are insensitive to the potential function, obscuring any choice but not contributing uncertainty. Statistical mechanical theories can understand and derive the laws of nature and the properties of materials from molecular considerations. They require the intermolecular potential function to translate formal expressions into working equations but the quantum mechanics used to derive them doesn't provide complete functions, leaving model functions as the only option. This book functions as a guide for choosing the most appropriate model function for a given dataset by providing a theoretical framework to quantify relationships between model functions and experimental properties.
