Detailed data on the higher-order hydrocarbons are not presented. Such data are obtained readily from NBS Circular C 461, Selected Values of Properties of Hydrocarbons, 1947, from the work of Stull, D. R., Westrum, E. F., Jr., and Sinke, G. C., The Chemical Thermodynamics of Organic Compounds, John Wiley Sons, New York, 1969, and from Reid, R. C., Prausnitz, J. M, and Poling, B.

John Prausnitz I d like to make one quick addendum. I want to defend the use of molecular simulations because we have gained insight from them as well. Let me mention one outstanding example. Until about 20 years ago, we believed that you could only condense a phase with attractive forces, and no one ever questioned that myth. Then computer simulations were done in the 1960s by Bemi Alder and his associates. The results showed that even for hard spheres, without any attractive forces, you can get a phase transition. This was never present in the van der Waals theory. I want to emphasize that simulations also add to our conceptual knowledge. 

Jefferson Tester I would like to shift gears and direct a question to John Prausnitz regarding his comments. You didn t talk very much about some of your own contributions and those of your students, for instance, the NRTL equation and UNIQUAC-UNIFAC models for nonideal solutions now in widespread use throughout the chemical industry and certainly employed by many people making practical calculations. There have been extensions of that local composition approach, in particular to electrolyte systems, by C. C. Chen and others. I wonder how you personally feel about that and... 

John Prausnitz I want to reply to what Dean Wilson said. We have some experience in the suggestion that you re making. You may remember that the engineering school at UCLA was founded in the 1940s, and the idea there was to have no departments. Dean Boelter said, we don t educate... 

John Prausnitz The tenure system encourages precisely the attitude that you mentioned. 

John Prausnitz I want to say something that s on my mind I suspect it s on everybody else s mind also. I want to thank MIT, and in particular Clark Colton, for organizing this conference and choosing such a magnificent place, and most of all for inviting us to participate. I think that all here agree that we haven t really solved any problems, but we are perhaps a little wiser now as we leave, compared to what we were when we came. I wish I had some champagne water s the best I ve got, but happy birthday, MIT.
