After a brief recall of the chromatographic principles, t h e different applications of gas chromatographic measurements of thermodynamic equilibria were reviewed. Gas and liquid chromatographies are now well known and elegant methods for measuring the physicochemical properties and phase equil ibrium thermodynamic constants. Although fundamentally a dynamical method and mostly known as a power...

It is often difficult to determine the solid-liquid transition by conventional simulation techniques because of the computational challenges posed by two dense phases. Hansen and Verlet [Han69] reported the first molecular simulation results for solid-liquid phase coexistence. They used a thermodynamic integration algorithm that involves the accurate evaluation of free energies. The widely used...
