We calculated and estimated the thermodynamic properties of water analytically on a range of temperatures and pressures with statistical mechanics of the isothermal-isobaric ensemble and the simple two-dimensional Mercedes-Benz (MB) model of water. We analysed the solvation of hydrophobic solutes in MB water with a method proposed by Lukšič et al. We also calculated the diffusion coefficient of water, viscosity and subsequently its thermal conductivity at different conditions with the MB model. Despite the model’s simplicity, it generates impressive trends of physical properties resembling real water.
