The extrapolation behaviour of empirical multi-parameter equations of state has been summarized by Span and Wagner. " Aside from the representation of shock tube data for the Hugoniot curve at very high temperatures and pressures, an assessment of the extrapolation behaviour of an equation of state can also be based on the so called ideal curves that were first discussed by Brown. While reference equations of state generally result in reasonable estimates for the Boyle, ideal, and Joule-Thomson inversion curves, the prediction of reasonable Joule inversion curves is still a challenge. Equations may result in unreasonable estimates of Boyle, ideal and Joule-Thomson plots especially when the equations are based on limited experimental data. 

From a thermodynamic point of view, there are three important adsorption properties that can be reproduced by Steele s theory the adsorption isotherms, the spreading pressures, and the isosteric heat, by using first Eq. (23) and then Eqs. (2) and (6), respectively. In fact, the most direct comparison between theoretical results is through the calculation of the compressibility factor, Z, for the 2D L-J fluid, which is equivalent to the comparison of calculated 2D pressures. As was indicated earlier, the comparison with previously published values is one of the first tests of validity of new theories, computer simulations or equations of state. Generally, that test is made by the authors in each new proposal. Also, the results can be used to obtain an expression for the thermodynamic properties [232,279]. In other words, theoretical values of Z have been extensively compared in many articles so that we will not include it here. We will consider here the comparison of theoretical values for the adsorption isotherms and isosteric heat. We consider six theoretical approaches in that comparison ... 

Equations of state generally rely on pure component properties such as critical temperature, critical pressure and acentric factor. In addition, an interaction parameter is required to account for mixtures of components. Correlation-based approaches rely on measured vapor pressures and observed data to provide empirical correlations for various hypothetical or pseudocomponents. 

This chapter presents a general method for estimating nonidealities in a vapor mixture containing any number of components this method is based on the virial equation of state for ordinary substances and on the chemical theory for strongly associating species such as carboxylic acids. The method is limited to moderate pressures, as commonly encountered in typical chemical engineering equipment, and should only be used for conditions remote from the critical of the mixture. 

Various other non-ideal-gas-type two-dimensional equations of state have been proposed, generally by analogy with gases. Volmer and Mahnert [128,... 

The succeeding material is broadly organized according to the types of experimental quantities measured because much of the literature is so grouped. In the next chapter spread monolayers are discussed, and in later chapters the topics of adsorption from solution and of gas adsorption are considered. Irrespective of the experimental compartmentation, the conclusions as to the nature of mobile adsorbed films, that is, their structure and equations of state, will tend to be of a general validity. Thus, only a limited discussion of Gibbs monolayers has been given here, and none of such related aspects as the contact potentials of solutions or of adsorption at liquid-liquid interfaces, as it is more efficient to treat these topics later. 

Real gases follow the ideal-gas equation (A2.1.17) only in the limit of zero pressure, so it is important to be able to handle the tliemiodynamics of real gases at non-zero pressures. There are many semi-empirical equations with parameters that purport to represent the physical interactions between gas molecules, the simplest of which is the van der Waals equation (A2.1.50). However, a completely general fonn for expressing gas non-ideality is the series expansion first suggested by Kamerlingh Onnes (1901) and known as the virial equation of state ... 

The parameter /r tunes the stiffness of the potential. It is chosen such that the repulsive part of the Leimard-Jones potential makes a crossing of bonds highly improbable (e.g., k= 30). This off-lattice model has a rather realistic equation of state and reproduces many experimental features of polymer solutions. Due to the attractive interactions the model exhibits a liquid-vapour coexistence, and an isolated chain undergoes a transition from a self-avoiding walk at high temperatures to a collapsed globule at low temperatures. Since all interactions are continuous, the model is tractable by Monte Carlo simulations as well as by molecular dynamics. Generalizations of the Leimard-Jones potential to anisotropic pair interactions are available e.g., the Gay-Beme potential [29]. This latter potential has been employed to study non-spherical particles that possibly fomi liquid crystalline phases. 

Flow and Performance Calculations. Electro dynamic equations are usehil when local gas conditions (, a, B) are known. In order to describe the behavior of the dow as a whole, however, it is necessary to combine these equations with the appropriate dow conservation and state equations. These last are the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, an equation of state for the working duid, an expression for the electrical conductivity, and the generalized Ohm s law. 

The virial equations are unsuitable forhquids and dense gases. The simplest expressions appropriate (in principle) for such fluids are equations cubic in molar volume. These equations, inspired by the van der Waals equation of state, may be represented by the following general formula, where parameters b, 9 5, S, and Tj each can depend on temperature and composition ... 

Cubic equations, although simple and able to provide semiquantitative descriptions of real fluid behavior, are not generally useful for accurate representation of volumetric data over wide ranges of T and P. For such appHcations, more comprehensive expressions with large numbers of adjustable parameters are needed. 7h.e simplest of these are the extended virial equations, exemplified by the eight-constant Benedict-Webb-Rubin (BWR) equation of state (13) ... 

The volumetric properties of fluids are represented not only by equations of state but also by generalized correlations. The most popular generalized correlations are based on a three-parameter theorem of corresponding states which asserts that the compressibiHty factor is a universal function of reduced temperature, reduced pressure, and a parameter CO, called the acentric factor ... 

An alternative to the use of generalized charts is an analytical equation of state. Equations of state which are expressed as a function of reduced properties and nondimensional variables are said to be generalized. The term generalization is in reference to the wide appHcabiHty to the estimation of fluid properties for many substances. 

The application of cubic equations of state to mixtures requires expression of the equation-of-state parameters as func tions of composition. No exact theory like that for the virial coefficients prescribes this composition dependence, and empirical mixing rules provide approximate relationships. The mixing rules that have found general favor for the Redhch/Kwong equation are ... 

Equation-of-State Approach Although the gamma/phi approach to X- E is in principle generally applicable to systems comprised of subcritical species, in practice it has found use primarily where pressures are no more than a few bars. Moreover, it is most satisfactoiy for correlation of constant-temperature data. A temperature dependence for the parameters in expressions for is included only for the local-composition equations, and it is at best only approximate. 

A generally apphcable alternative to the gamma/phi approach results when both the hquid and vapor phases are described by the same equation of state. The defining equation for the fugacity coefficient, Eq. (4-79), may be applied to each phase ... 

Outlined below are the steps required for of a X T.E calciilation of vapor-phase composition and pressure, given the liquid-phase composition and temperature. A choice must be made of an equation of state. Only the Soave/Redlich/Kwong and Peng/Robinson equations, as represented by Eqs. (4-230) and (4-231), are considered here. These two equations usually give comparable results. A choice must also be made of a two-parameter correlating expression to represent the liquid-phase composition dependence of for each pq binaiy. The Wilson, NRTL (with a fixed), and UNIQUAC equations are of general applicabihty for binary systems, the Margules and van Laar equations may also be used. The equation selected depends on evidence of its suitability to the particular system treated. Reasonable estimates of the parameters in the equation must also be known at the temperature of interest. These parameters are directly related to infinite-dilution values of the activity coefficients for each pq binaiy. 

The jump conditions must be satisfied by a steady compression wave, but cannot be used by themselves to predict the behavior of a specific material under shock loading. For that, another equation is needed to independently relate pressure (more generally, the normal stress) to the density (or strain). This equation is a property of the material itself, and every material has its own unique description. When the material behind the shock wave is a uniform, equilibrium state, the equation that is used is the material s thermodynamic equation of state. A more general expression, which can include time-dependent and nonequilibrium behavior, is called the constitutive equation. 

For simplicity, we have shown an expansion wave in which the pressure is linearly decreasing with time. This, in general, is not the case. The release behavior depends on the equation of state of the material, and its structure can be quite complicated. There are even conditions under which a rarefaction shock can form (see Problems, Section 2.20 Barker and Hollenbach, 1970). In practice, there are many circumstances where the expansion wave does not propagate far enough to fan out significantly, and can be drawn as a single line in the x t diagram. 

Constitutive relation An equation that relates the initial state to the final state of a material undergoing shock compression. This equation is a property of the material and distinguishes one material from another. In general it can be rate-dependent. It is combined with the jump conditions to yield the Hugoniot curve which is also material-dependent. The equation of state of a material is a constitutive equation for which the initial and final states are in thermodynamic equilibrium, and there are no rate-dependent variables. 

Substituting the general equation of state and the definition of the aeous-tie veloeity, the following equation is obtained ... 

The equations of state will not be further described or presented in more detail as tliey are unfortunately somewhat difficult to solve without the use of a computer. Full details are available in the referenced material for those wishing to pursue this subject further. In the past, these equations required the use of a mainframe computer not only to solve the equations themselves, but to store the great number of constants required. This has been true particularly if the gas mixture contains numerous components. With the power and storage capacity of personal computers increasing, the equations have the potential of becoming more readily available for general use... 

Several colloidal systems, that are of practical importance, contain spherically symmetric particles the size of which changes continuously. Polydisperse fluid mixtures can be described by a continuous probability density of one or more particle attributes, such as particle size. Thus, they may be viewed as containing an infinite number of components. It has been several decades since the introduction of polydispersity as a model for molecular mixtures [73], but only recently has it received widespread attention [74-82]. Initially, work was concentrated on nearly monodisperse mixtures and the polydispersity was accounted for by the construction of perturbation expansions with a pure, monodispersive, component as the reference fluid [77,80]. Subsequently, Kofke and Glandt [79] have obtained the equation of state using a theory based on the distinction of particular species in a polydispersive mixture, not by their intermolecular potentials but by a specific form of the distribution of their chemical potentials. Quite recently, Lado [81,82] has generalized the usual OZ equation to the case of a polydispersive mixture. Recently, the latter theory has been also extended to the case of polydisperse quenched-annealed mixtures [83,84]. As this approach has not been reviewed previously, we shall consider it in some detail. 

The formulation above allows a more general equation of state for the combustion products (Kuhl 1983). The method described breaks down for low piston velocities, where the leading shock Mach number approaches unity. In such cases, the numerical integration marches into the point (F = 0, Z = 1), which is a singularity.

For practical applications of the numerous thermodynamic relationships, it is necessary to have available the properties of the system. In general, a given property of a pure substance can be expressed in terms of any other two properties to completely define the state of the substance. Thus one can represent an equation of state by the functional relationship ... 

G. Meslin (1893) has investigated the conditions under which an equation of state can lead to a law of corresponding states. The most general form of equation possible is ... 

In this discussion, we will limit our writing of the Pfaffian differential expression bq, for the differential element of heat flow in thermodynamic systems, to reversible processes. It is not possible, generally, to write an expression for bq for an irreversible process in terms of state variables. The irreversible process may involve passage through conditions that are not true states" of the system. For example, in an irreversible expansion of a gas, the values of p. V, and T may not correspond to those dictated by the equation of state of the gas. 

In an adiabatic expansion or compression, the system is thermally isolated from the surroundings so that q = 0. If the change is reversible, we can derive a general relationship between p, V, and T, that can then be applied to a fluid (such as an ideal gas) by knowing the equation of state relating p, V, and T.
