โฆ Synopsis
A procedure for constructing a thermodynamic free energy of fluids is discussed which incorporates a crossover from singular thermodynamic behavior at the critical point to regular thermodynamic behavior far away from the critical point. The, procedure is based on an approximate solution of the renormalization-group theory of critical phenomena and yields an accurate representation of the thermodynamic properties of fluids in a large range of temperatures and densities around the critical point.

To characterize the behavior of the thermodynamic properties of systems near a critical point, systems are grouped into universality classes. Systems within a universality class have the same universal critical exponents and scaling functions. Specifically, fluids are expected to belong to the unive
