Monograph on The Liquid State

Larson worked out a series of privately circulated technical papers on the liquid state of matter. The most important discovery he made was that the state of matter—the solid, liquid or gaseous—is a characteristic of the individual molecule/atom. Larson was able to calculate from the theory, without the need to introduce any arbitrary parameters, various property values of hundreds of liquids accurately.

Papers included:

1. General Theory [of liquids]
2. Volume- Relation to Temperature + supplement
3. Volume - Relation to Composition
4. Volume - Relation to Pressure
5. The Liquid-Solid Transition
6. The Critical Constants
7. Viscosity and Fluidity
8. Surface Tension
9. Review and Appraisal
10. The Melting Point - Relation to Pressure
