An algorithm is described for the calculation of equilibrium compositions of multiple highly nonideal liquid and solid solutions, as well as pure stoichiometric phases, coexisting with a mixture of ideal gas species at fixed temperature and pressure. The total Gibbs free energy of the system is appr

The nonlinear self-consistent Smoluchowski equation for the distribution of orientations in a colloidal suspension of elongated molecules is solved for situations with uniaxial symmetry in the framework of the Maier-Saupe model. The axis of symmetry corresponds to the direction of an applied magneti

A current modal. which forms the basis for the molecular field treatments of the orientationat ordering of molecules in liquid crystals, is examined using a cluster variation method. It is found that no firstorder transition occurs.
