Successive approximation, a method of solving mathematical problems by means of sequence of approximation that converges to the solution, has been reviewed with the convergence criteria. This method has been used to derive more accurate analytic expressions for Joule–Thomson coefficient, inversion temperature, heat capacity relations for imperfect gases using van der Waals equation of states. Some other potential applications of this method have been discussed.

逐次逼近法及其在化学中的应用

逐次逼近是一种通过收敛到解的逼近序列来解决数学问题的方法，目前已经采用收敛准则进行了综述。使用范德华状态方程，已使用该方法得出焦耳-汤姆森系数，反演温度，不完美气体的热容关系的更准确的解析表达式。已经讨论了该方法的其他潜在应用。
