  maxwell_construction van der Waals Equation of State and Maxwell Construction¶The van der Waals equation of state successfully represents the qualitative behaviors of real gases. This also shows the liquid-gas phase transition. Although van der Waals equation can be derived (in low density limit) using virial expansion. But heuristically it can...

  Root-Finding Algorithms¶Here we discuss some of the numerical methods for finding the roots of the equations of the form f(x) = 0, where 'f' is a function. We can find the roots in closed form for only some limited class of equations. Most of the time it is difficult to...
