Thermodynamics of solutions: from gases to pharmaceutics to proteins

This book is a collection of published papers by Eli Ruckenstein devoted to the application of the Kirkwood-Buff (KB) theory of solutions to binary and multicomponent liquid mixtures. The KB theory of solution is one of the most powerful methods for analyzing such mixtures.

While the theoretical part of KB theory is well-developed, the applications of the KB theory of solution to various kinds of mixtures, such as supercritical mixtures, protein solutions and so on are known only from journal publications.
