Fugacity calculation

The can be Interpolated using Table 4.18 and the fugacities calculated by the Soave model. 

Finally, it is necessary to observe that the values of activities and fugacities calculated are thermodynamic quantities that cannot always be realised in practice, e.g. very high activities of metal ions cannot be attained because of solubility consideration and very low activities have no physical significance. 

A number of problems formulated with data from the literature are given next as exercises. In addition, to the objective function given by Equation 15.11 the reader who is familiar with thermodynamic computations may explore the use of implicit objective functions based on fugacity calculations. 

The method of using fugacity calculations will be discussed later in this symposium, therefore a detailed description will not be given in this paper. The description of equilibrium models using chemical equilibrium expressions will be discussed with the recognition that the two approaches are very much the same. 

Paterson and Mackay (1985), Mackay and Paterson (1990, 1991), and a recent text (Mackay 2001). Only the salient features are presented here. Three evaluations are completed for each chemical, namely the Level I, II and III fugacity calculations. These calculations can also be done in concentration format instead of fugacity, but for this type of evaluation the fugacity approach is simpler and more instructive. The mass balance models of the types described below can be downloaded for the web site www.trentu.ca/cemc...

The fugacities calculated in this way are those that would be found in a gas phase that is in equilibrium with the system, if such a gas phase were to exist. Whether a gas phase exists or is strictly hypothetical depends on how the modeler has defined the system, but not on the gas fugacities given by Equation 3.44. 

The dependence of solubility on % fill in 0.5M (OH) solution is shown in Fig. 5.(10) The solubility in pure water is an order of magnitude smaller under similar conditions. In pure water, activity coefficient (actually fugacity calculated from appropriate compressibility) estimates enable one to get reasonably accurate values for the equilibrium constant. This treatment suggests that the solubizing reaction in pure water is ... 

The permselectivity for membrane separations can also be calculated by substituting fugacities calculated from an equation of state, here using the Beattie-Bridgeman equation, into Equation (3) for the partial pressure values (4). The values of the permselectivities in Table IV are relatively constant at a fixed feed composition in agreement with the approximately linear behavior noted in Figures 9-11. 

Initial values. Before a trial is begun, stage temperatures, 7ys, and total flow rates, V/s and L/s, have to be given initial values. The stage component rates, v-fs and l a, do not have to be estimated since these can be calculated from the component balances. The component balances are dependent on the Zf-values and for the first.component balances, composition-independent Jf-values must be used. A composition-independent /C-value can be found from the pure component fugacities calculated from an equation of state ... 

The analyses here differ from those of Gardiner (1996), Kotas (1995) and Moran and Shapiro (1993) because of the use of the fugacity calculations from the JANAF tables (Chase etal., 1998), and, more importantly, because the contents of the isothermal enclosure of the fuel cell are at concentrations determined by the equilibrium constant (high vacuum of reactants, high concentration of products). The introduction of a Faradaic reformer is new. 

Mackay et al. (1997) provide detailed examples of fugacity calculations to illustrate how variations in the physical and chemical properties of pesticides affect their partitioning among environmental media. Figure 3 displays the results from some of these calculations for three of the pesticides listed in Table 1. Consistent with the expectations described above, these computations predict that following their release into the hydro-logic system, the relatively water-soluble herbicide atrazine will come to reside mostly in the aqueous phase, the more hydrophobic insecticide...
