This book is a comprehensive exposition of the thermodynamic
properties of the van der Waals fluid, which evolved out of a
course on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics at Iowa State
University in the US. The main goal of the book is to provide a
graphical overview of the many interesting and diverse
thermodynamic properties of the van der Waals fluid through plots
of these properties versus various independent parameters. The data
for these plots are obtained from formulas derived herein, some of
which have previously appeared in the literature. Many results not
amenable to graphical illustration are also included. This book
will be useful to instructors as a teaching resource and to
students as a text supplement of thermodynamics and statistical
mechanics courses, as well as to others who are interested in the
thermodynamics of the seminal van der Waals fluid.
