Equation of state for liquids

If we can write an equation of state for liquid mixtures, we can then calculate partial molar volumes directly by differentiation. For a pressure-explicit equation, the most convenient procedure is to use the exact relation... 

Smith (1970) derived an equation of state for liquid polymers based on the hole theory of liquids. For higher temperatures, this equation can be reduced to a form equivalent to that of Eq. (7.26).

The second state of matter is a liquid. Liquids are fluid, just like gasses, but, unlike gases, they are nearly incompressible and maintain the same volume throughout a wide range of pressures and temperatures. There is no equation of state for liquids like Equation 2.3.1 for gases, but if there were, it would probably be something like...

This equation corresponds to both the equation of state for liquids (6.53) and the Van der Waals equation (6.52). However, the phenomenological parameters a and b in (6.52) acquired physical sense. Parameter b = ANpVm is related to particular molecular volume and density of spheres (molecules), parameter a vVo/2 points to the properly averaged potential describing molecular attraction. 

In general, the equation of state for a substance depends specifically upon its composition. For example, the equation of state for liquid water is different than that for liquid ethanol. However, as we shall see, in the limit of low densities the properties of gases can be described by an equation of state that is independent of the nature and composition of the gas.

Perturbation methods based on theory from physics and chemistry, electronic computer simulation studies, and careful comparisons with real fluid behavior are moving quickly toward producing an effective equation of state for liquids. These efforts are in the hands of the theoretician today, but further development and reduction to practice should be explored.

Enthalpies are referred to the ideal vapor. The enthalpy of the real vapor is found from zero-pressure heat capacities and from the virial equation of state for non-associated species or, for vapors containing highly dimerized vapors (e.g. organic acids), from the chemical theory of vapor imperfections, as discussed in Chapter 3. For pure components, liquid-phase enthalpies (relative to the ideal vapor) are found from differentiation of the zero-pressure standard-state fugacities these, in turn, are determined from vapor-pressure data, from vapor-phase corrections and liquid-phase densities. If good experimental data are used to determine the standard-state fugacity, the derivative gives enthalpies of liquids to nearly the same precision as that obtained with calorimetric data, and provides reliable heats of vaporization.

It is, however, possible to calculate the tensile strength of a liquid by extrapolation of an equation of state for the fluid into the metastable region of negative pressure.

Since Eqs. (5) and (6) are not restricted to the vapor phase, they can, in principle, be used to calculate fugacities of components in the liquid phase as well. Such calculations can be performed provided we assume the validity of an equation of state for a density range starting at zero density and terminating at the liquid density of interest. That is, if we have a pressure-explicit equation of state which holds for mixtures in both vapor and liquid phases, then we can use Eq. (6) to solve completely the equations of equilibrium without explicitly resorting to the auxiliary-functions activity, standard-state fugacity, and partial molar volume. Such a procedure was discussed many years ago by van der Waals and, more recently, it has been reduced to practice by Benedict and co-workers (B4). 

In their correlation, Chao and Seader use the original Redlich-Kwong equation of state for vapor-phase fugacities. For the liquid phase, they use the symmetric convention of normalization for y and partial molar volumes which are independent of composition, depending only on temperature. For the variation of y with temperature and composition, Chao and Seader use the equation of Scatchard and Hildebrand for a multicomponent solution ... 

We have considered volume changes resulting from density changes in liquid and gaseous systems. These volume changes were thermodynamically determined using an equation of state for the fluid that specifies volume or density as a function of composition, pressure, temperature, and any other state variable that may be important. This is the usual case in chemical engineering problems. In Example 2.10, the density depended only on the composition. In Example 2.11, the density depended on composition and pressure, but the pressure was specified. 

Solution of the design equations for liquid-phase piston flow reactors is usually easier than for gas-phase reactors because pressure t5q)icaUy has no effect on the fluid density or the reaction kinetics. Extreme pressures are an exception that theoretically can be handled by the same methods used for gas-phase systems. The difficulty will be finding an equation of state. For ordinary pressures, the... 

Equations (4.1) or (4.2) are a set of N simultaneous equations in iV+1 unknowns, the unknowns being the N outlet concentrations aout,bout, , and the one volumetric flow rate Qout- Note that Qom is evaluated at the conditions within the reactor. If the mass density of the fluid is constant, as is approximately true for liquid systems, then Qout=Qm- This allows Equations (4.1) to be solved for the outlet compositions. If Qout is unknown, then the component balances must be supplemented by an equation of state for the system. Perhaps surprisingly, the algebraic equations governing the steady-state performance of a CSTR are usually more difficult to solve than the sets of simultaneous, first-order ODEs encountered in Chapters 2 and 3. We start with an example that is easy but important. 

Activity coefficient models offer an alternative approach to equations of state for the calculation of fugacities in liquid solutions (Prausnitz ct al. 1986 Tas-sios, 1993). These models are also mechanistic and contain adjustable parameters to enhance their correlational ability. The parameters are estimated by matching the thermodynamic model to available equilibrium data. In this chapter, vve consider the estimation of parameters in activity coefficient models for electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. 

Unless liquid phase activity coefficients have been used, it is best to use the same equation of state for excess enthalpy that was selected for the vapour-liquid equilibria. If liquid-phase activity coefficients have been specified, then a correlation appropriate for the activity coefficient method should be used. 

If the K-value requires the composition of both phases to be known, then this introduces additional complications into the calculations. For example, suppose a bubble-point calculation is to be performed on a liquid of known composition using an equation of state for the vapor-liquid equilibrium. To start the calculation, a temperature is assumed. Then, calculation of K-values requires knowledge of the vapor composition to calculate the vapor-phase fugacity coefficient, and that of the liquid composition to calculate the liquid-phase fugacity coefficient. While the liquid composition is known, the vapor composition is unknown and an initial estimate is required for the calculation to proceed. Once the K-value has been estimated from an initial estimate of the vapor composition, the composition of the vapor can be reestimated, and so on. 

In Section 2.2 we introduced the van der Waals equation of state for a gas. This model, which provides one of the earliest explanations of critical phenomena, is also very suited for a qualitative explanation of the limits of mechanical stability of a homogeneous liquid. Following Stanley [17], we will apply the van der Waals equation of state to illustrate the limits of the stability of a liquid and a gas below the critical point. 

Tsi may be estimated by two very different theoretical routes. From thermodynamics, one can derive the necessary criteria (Beegle, 1973 Beegle et al., 1974). To use these relations, an applicable equation of state for the material is all that is required, i.e., one only needs a relationship between P, V, T, and composition for the liquid. The results of applying this technique can be generalized in a deceptively simple way, e.g., to a reasonable approximation ...
