Fugac ity

The computer subroutines for calculation of vapor-phase and liquid-phase fugacity (activity) coefficients, reference fugac-ities, and molar enthalpies, as well as vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibrium ratios, are described and listed in this Appendix. These are source routines written in American National Standard FORTRAN (FORTRAN IV), ANSI X3.9-1978, and, as such, should be compatible with most computer systems with FORTRAN IV compilers. Approximate storage requirements and CDC 6400 execution times for these subroutines are given in Appendix J. 

When the fuel gas is not pure hydrogen and air is used instead of pure oxygen, additional adjustment to the calciJated cell potential becomes necessary. Since the reactants in the two gas streams practically become depleted between the inlet and exit of the fuel cell, the cell potential is decreased by a term representing the log mean fugac-ities, and the operating cell efficiency becomes ... 

In Mackay s development of an equilibrium model a slice of the earth is selected as a unit world or model ecosystem. Fugac-ities are calculated for each compartment of the ecosystem and the overall distribution patterns of a given chemical are predicted. 

G.N. Lewis (19) the renowned thermodynamlcist defined a function called the fugac-ity to simplify the mathematical relationships describing the equilibrium state no matter what the ideality of the situation. He defined the fugacity f as follows ... 

K2 are the activity coefficients of the solid solute in its samrated solutions in the cosolvent, water, and mixed solvent, respectively P) is the hypothetical fu-gacity of a solid as a (subcooled) liquid at a given pressure (P) and temperature (T) / is the fugac-ity of the pure solid component 2 and y indicates that the activity coefficients of the solute depend on composition. If the solubilities of the pure and mixed solvents in the solid phase are negligible, then the left hand sides of Eqs. (l)-(3) depend only on the properties of the solute. 

Note that with this modification to the van der Waals one-fluid model, the fugac-ity coefficient expression for species i given in eqn. (3.3.9) will change because an additional compositional dependence has been introduced to the a term of the EOS. For the PR EOS, with the van der Waals one-fluid model, a more general form of the fugacity coefficient expression of species i in a mixture is... 

The objective of this chapter has been to develop methods of estimating species fugac-ities in mixtures. These methods are very important in phase equilibrium calculations, as will be seen in the following chapters. Because of the variety of methods discussed, there may be some confusion as to which fugacity estimation technique applies in a given situation. The comments that follow may be helpful in choosing among the three main methods discussed in this chapter ... 

Here plays the role of formal electron donor, and its fugac-ity is determined by the number of electrons, which are capable of participating in these reactions. If the value is determined and characterizes the redox-buffer, it may be used for the determination of balanced relationship of redox-couples in ground water under the same conditions. For instance, sulphur oxidation reaction may be written with the participation of conditional O ... 

The effluent pressure is 2 atm. At 600° C the standard Gibbs free-energy change for standard states of unit fugac-ity is known to be -3995 cal/mol for the reaction as written above. For the temperature range of interest, the standard heat of reaction may be taken as a constant equal to -22, 650 cal/mol. 

Fugacities in the liquid phase may be defined as follows they are equal to fugac-ities in a vapour (gas) phase which is in phase equilibrium and which may be calculated by (4.454) or (4.458). It is because fugacities of a given constituent are the... 

When two or more fluid phases are in physical equilibrium, the chemical potential, fugac-ity, or activity of each species is the same in each phase. Thus, in terms of species mixture fugacities for a vapor phase in physical equilibrium with a single liquid phase,... 

Several models of varying complexity have been developed to calculate and predict the distribution of chemicals in the environment (OECD, 1989a, 1993c). Most of them are derived from the Mackay model (Mackay 1979 Mackay and Paterson, 1981, 1982, 1990 Mackay, Paterson and Shiu, 1992) to estimate the environmental compartment (air, soil, water and biota) in which the chemical is most likely to be found. Based on the concept of fugac-ity, models were derived for four levels of increasing complexity. Level I... 

Multimedia environmental models often incorporate the concept of fugac-ity into mass balance calculations. As pioneered by Dr. Donald Mackay and described in Table 2.3, fugacity models can reflect four levels of sophistication [64]. Level III fugacity models are commonly used to describe the fate and transport of a chemical released to the environment that undergoes degradation and advective transport between compartments. One such model is described below. 

For heterogeneous reactions, where more than one phase is present, we simply treat the fugac-ities in the vapor as we did for Equation (9.26) or (9.27) and the liquid as we did for Equation (9.28) or (9.29). If a pure solid is present, we use an activity of 1 otherwise, we use a formulation analogous to liquids. When solving problems for heterogeneous systems, we must remember to use only the total number of moles in a given phase when we put the mole fractions into terms with extent of reaction.
