Abstract:
A possible physical basis for a one-fluid theory is the assumption of an explicit .equation of state such as Van der Waal's equation or Guggenheim's equation. This choice of a physical basis may be contrasted with the use in all previous versions of the theory, either of a statistical mechanical model such as 'cell model' of the liquid state or of a complete knowledge of experimental values of the configurational thermodynamic properties of at least one of the real pure fluids. These choices lead to considerably more complicated formulae and also suffer from disadvantages in the first place of the inadequacy of the cell model or in the second case of our usually inadequate knowledge of experimental configurational properties.
