I seem to have forgotten where I have seen these particular rules; I need them for my research. I think I saw them in a book somewhere... but that was around 4 years ago.
Does anyone know where can I find the rules stipulated by statistical mechanics/thermodynamics on the alpha function α(TR) of the cubic equations of state?
As far as I remember, there were three rules:

As far as I remember, there were three rules:
- α(TR) = 1 when TR = 1
- α(TR) approaches 0 when TR approaches infinity
- α(TR) approaches infinity (?) when TR approaches 0
