No single book replaces Hirschfelder et al., but for updated theory, pair it with:
covers equations of state for both dilute and dense gases, as well as chemical environments.
Seventy years after its publication, Molecular Theory of Gases and Liquids remains the Rosetta Stone for translating intermolecular potentials into macroscopic observables. A "better" PDF41—be it a high-quality scan of Chapter 8, Section 41, or simply version 41 of a cleaned file—preserves the intellectual rigor of Hirschfelder for the next generation of computational chemists.
