The book guides the reader from the foundations of statisti- cal

thermodynamics including the theory of intermolecular forces to modern

computer-aided applications in chemical en- gineering and physical

chemistry. The approach is new. The foundations of quantum and statistical mechanics are presen- ted in a simple way and their applications to the

prediction of fluid phase behavior of real systems are demonstrated.

A particular effort is made to introduce the reader to expli- cit

formulations of intermolecular interaction models and to show how these

models influence the properties of fluid sy- stems. The established methods of statistical mechanics - computer simulation, perturbation theory, and

numerical in- tegration - are discussed in a style appropriate for

newcom- ers and are extensively applied. Numerous worked

examples illustrate how practical calculations should be carried out.
