Abstract In this article we consider applications of the theory of normal forms to the questions of thermodynamics of non-ideal media described by thermal equations of state. On the basis of the fundamental Gibbs-Duhem equation the notion of contact equivalence of such equations is introduced. Basic results from formal theory of normal forms for contact systems with a polynomial quasi-homogeneous unperturbed Hamiltonian are given, the definition of normal form of a contact Hamiltonian and the normalization theorem are formulated. From the application point of view, models for a mixture of non-ideal gases and classical hydrogen plasma are considered. For the equation of state of a mixture of non-ideal gases given in the form of a virial expansion it is shown that this equation is contact-equivalent to the equation of state of a mixture of ideal gases. Furthermore, explicit formulae for one of the possible normalizing transformations are given. Non-triviality of the physical effects that take place due to the impact of resonant perturbations on a model of ideal medium is illustrated by the example of perturbed equation for the Debye-Hückel model of hydrogen plasma. For this model the lowest terms of the perturbation in normal form are determined and their physical meaning is explained.
