Acknowledgments and sources
This implementation of the Revised Enskog solutions is build upon the work presented by M. López de Haro, E. D. G. Cohen, and J. Kincaid in the series of papers The Enskog Theory for multicomponent mixtures I - IV, J. Chem. Phys. (1983 - 1987) (I, II, III, IV).
The implementation utilises the explicit summational expressions for the square bracket integrals published by Tompson, Tipton and Loyalka in Chapman–Enskog solutions to arbitrary order in Sonine polynomials I - IV (Physica A, E. J. Mech. - B) 2007-2009 (I, II, III, IV).
The work by T. Lafitte, A. Apostolakou, C. Avendaño, A. Galindo, C. Adjiman, E. Müller and G. Jackson, Accurate statistical associating fluid theory for chain molecules formed from Mie segments J. Chem. Phys. 2013 is also of great importance to this implementation.
