Equation of slate

Equation 4-104 expresses the principle of additive pressures. In addition to Equation 4-104, there is the equation of slate for the drilling fluid. 

Many semiempirical equations of slate with varying degree of theoretical foundations are in use. The Van der Waals equation, a two-parameter equation that gives a qualitatively correct picture of the P-V-T relations of a gas and of the gas liquid transition, is an example. 

There exist systems, namely systems which undergo processes involving hysteresis (plastic deformation or ferromagnetism, lor example) for which no equation of slate can he indicated. Although Ihe laws of thermodynamics may apply to such systems, the rigorous results of classical thermodynamics arc not applicable because the science of thermodynamics is developed on the assumption of the existence of the single-valued function. 

Even in the case of a simple system, one equation of state, e.g,. the equation fip. V. T) =0. does mil necessarily determine the form of all the other equations of state. This is connected with the fact that the dc rivatiun of the other equations of slate may involve the integration of partial derivatives which leads to the appearance of whole functions in the integration constant." An equation from which other equations of stale... 

Remember that every equation of slate for nonideal gases is an approximation, often based on fitting adjustable constants to experimental PVT data. Be skeptical of every value you estimate, especially if you are using an equation of state beyond the range of conditions for which it was derived. 

Fugacity coefficients are dimensionless they are identically unity for ideal gases. For nonreacling real gases, their values approach unity as pressare approaches zero. Table 1.2-2 summarizes general thermodynamic relationships for the fugaciry coefficients. Section 1.3 discusses the calculation of fbgacity coefficients from PVTx equations of slate. 

Truncated virial equations are unsuitable for higb-densiiy applications in particular, they ate ianppmpriale for the liquid phase. For such applications, one must use more comprehensive but empirical equations of slate. The simplest empirical equations of state are cubic in molar voluma (or molar density). They may he represented hy the geenral formula... 

When tha system temperature T is greater then the critical temperature TCi of component r, then pure i cannot exist as a liquid. The procedure of Section 1.5-1, which incorporates the vapor-liquid saturation pressure P . is therefore inappropriate for representing VLE for mixtures containing "supareritical component r. Several methods are available for the quantitative description of such cases the must powerful of them is that using an equation of slate as discussed briefly in Section 1.7. Alternatively, one may use Eq. (1.5-2),...

The fugacity of a gas may normally be calculated if the equation of slate is known. The fugacity coefficient (]) is related to the compressibility factor z, which is given by...
