Abstract

A statistical approach allowing use of distribution functions for description of the behavior of fluids and gases in confined volumes is considered. Interpolation formulas describing fluid behavior in thin films are obtained and a method is proposed for determining the logarithm of the activity coefficient for small volumes without thermodynamic limit.
