May low-density expansions for imperfect gases contain information about condensed phases?
Year: 1984
Type: article
Abstract: The question posed is examined within the context of two simple models, the Ford problem and the van der Waals equation, both of which possess two phases: (i) a low-density phase for which all the virial coefficients in the density power-series expansion are known and (ii) a high-density ‘‘condensed’’ phase. Padé extrapolation techniques are applied to the virial series in an attempt to predict the condensed phase branch.
