Some Topics in the Theory of Fluids
- B. Widom
- Physics
- 1 December 1963
It is shown how certain thermodynamic functions, and also the radial distribution function, can be expressed in terms of the potential energy distribution in a fluid. A miscellany of results is… Expand
New Model for the Study of Liquid–Vapor Phase Transitions
- B. Widom, J. S. Rowlinson
- Chemistry
- 15 February 1970
A new model is proposed for the study of the liquid–vapor phase transition. The potential energy of a given configuration of N molecules is defined by U(r1, ···, rN) = [W(r1, ···, rN) − Nυ0]e/υ0≤0,… Expand
Random Sequential Addition of Hard Spheres to a Volume
- B. Widom
- Physics
- 15 May 1966
The configurations produced by placing spheres one at a time in a volume, subject to no overlap of the spheres but otherwise placing each at a point chosen at random, differ in a fundamental way from… Expand
The hydrophobic effect
- B. Widom, P. Bhimalapuram, K. Koga
- Chemistry
- 16 July 2003
The thermodynamics of the hydrophobic effect, as measured primarily through the temperature dependence of solubility, is reviewed, and then a class of models that incorporate the basic mechanism of… Expand

The critical point and scaling theory
- B. Widom
- Mathematics
- 1 April 1974
Abstract The origin and physical meaning of the scaling and homogeneity hypotheses in the theory of equilibrium critical phenomena are discussed. The purely thermodynamic critical-point exponent… Expand
Surface Tension and Molecular Correlations near the Critical Point
- B. Widom
- Chemistry
- 1 December 1965
The van der Waals, Cahn—Hilliard theory of interfacial tension is reformulated for a fluid in the neighborhood of its critical point. The reformulated theory becomes equivalent to the… Expand
Biochemistry at 100�C: Explosive Secretory Discharge of Bombardier Beetles (Brachinus)
- D. Aneshansley, T. Eisner, J. Widom, B. Widom
- Chemistry
- Science
- 4 July 1969
The defensive chemical spray of bombardier beetles is ejected at 100�C, with a heat content of about 0.2 calorie per milligram.
Equation of State in the Neighborhood of the Critical Point
- B. Widom
- Chemistry
- 1 December 1965
A specific form is proposed for the equation of state of a fluid near its critical point. A function Φ(x, y) is introduced, with x a measure of the temperature and y of the density. Fluids obeying an… Expand
