This book addresses graduate students and researchers wishing to better
understand the liquid and supercritical fluid states of matter,
presenting a single cohesive treatment of the liquid and supercritical
fluid states using the gas-like and solid-like approaches. Bringing this
information together into one comprehensive text, this book outlines how
our understanding of the liquid and supercritical fluid states is
applied and explores the use of supercritical fluids in daily life and
in research, for example in power generation, and their existence in
planetary interiors.
- Presents a single coherent treatment of the key knowledge about the
liquid and supercritical fluid states
- Provides comprehensive survey of key fluid properties from the latest
experiments and applies our theoretical knowledge to understand the
behaviour of these real fluids
- Explores the consequences of recent advances in the field on our
understanding in industry, nature, and in interdisciplinary research,
including planetary science
