Mayer’s convergence method for virial expansion and condensation is studied using a new generating function for canonical partition function, which directly depends on irreducible cluster integral, βk, unlike Mayer’s work where it depends on reducible cluster integral, bl. The virial...

The Joule–Thomson effect is discussed for a fluid composed of spherically symmetric Lennard–Jones(12,6) molecules (of “diameter” σ) confined between two planar, rigid, structureless solid substrates separated by sz=10 and 20σ. The effect of “strong” and “weak” of the substrate...
