An overview of the recent results obtained from the full second-order
perturbation theory of the anisotropic molecule fluid for real systems
is given. The performance of the theory has so far been examined upon
(i) a series of n-alkanes with the carbon number up to 16, modeled as
fluids of the Kihara rod-like molecules, (ii) their binary mixtures,
(iii) a series of low-molecular linear chlorinated hydrocarbons with t
he carbon number up to 4, modeled as fluids of Kihara rods with assign
ed dipole moments, and (iv) mixtures of the linear chloroalkanes with
n-alkanes. Parameters of the interaction potential for the pure compou
nds were evaluated from the data on the vapor-liquid coexistence regio
n (namely the vapor pressure and saturated liquid density) of the real
substances. Each of the parameters of the pair-potential for the pure
n-alkanes is accurately represented as a function of the number of ca
rbon atoms by a simple analytical expression. Using the conventional c
ombining rules with only marginal corrections in the cross-terms, the
excess Gibbs energies, excess enthalpies, and excess volumes as a func
tion of both the composition and temperature are simultaneously repres
ented succesfully for the n-alkane binaries and also for the chloroalk
ane + n-alkane mixtures.
