Generalized virial functions

The thermodynamic functions for the gas phase are more easily developed than for the liquid or solid phases, because the temperature-pressure-volume relations can be expressed, at least for low pressures, by an algebraic equation of state. For this reason the thermodynamic functions for the gas phase are developed in this chapter before discussing those for the liquid and solid phases in Chapter 8. First the equation of state for pure ideal gases and for mixtures of ideal gases is discussed. Then various equations of state for real gases, both pure and mixed, are outlined. Finally, the more general thermodynamic functions for the gas phase are developed in terms of the experimentally observable quantities the pressure, the volume, the temperature, and the mole numbers. Emphasis is placed on the virial equation of state accurate to the second virial coefficient. However, the methods used are applicable to any equation of state, and the development of the thermodynamic functions for any given equation of state should present no difficulty. 

As with the generalized compressibility-factor correlation, the complexity ol the functions (H f/RZ. H Y/RZ. (S /R, and S Y/R preclude then general representation by simple equations. However, the correlation for Z basec on generalized virial coefficients and valid at low pressures can be extended U the residual properties. The equation relating Z to the functions and ia derived in Sec. 3.6 from Eqs. (3.46) and (3.47) ...

Current use of statistical thermodynamics implies that the adsorption system can be effectively separated into the gas phase and the adsorbed phase, which means that the partition function of motions normal to the surface can be represented with sufficient accuracy by that of oscillators confined to the surface. This becomes less valid, the shorter is the mean adsorption time of adatoms, i.e. the higher is the desorption temperature. Thus, near the end of the desorption experiment, especially with high heating rates, another treatment of equilibria should be used, dealing with the whole system as a single phase, the adsorbent being a boundary. This is the approach of the gas-surface virial expansion of adsorption isotherms (51, 53) or of some more general treatment of this kind. 

The potential energy function prohibits double occupancy of any site on the 2nnd lattice. In the initial formulation, which was designed for the simulation of infinitely dilute chains in a structureless medium that behaves as a solvent, the remaining part of the potential energy function contains a finite repulsion for sites that are one lattice unit apart, and a finite attraction for sites that are two lattice units apart [153]. The finite interaction energies for these two types of sites were obtained by generalizing the lattice formulation of the second virial coefficient, B2, described by Post and Zimm as [159] ... 

There are other noteworthy single excited-state theories. Gorling developed a stationary principle for excited states in density functional theory [41]. A formalism based on the integral and differential virial theorems of quantum mechanics was proposed by Sahni and coworkers for excited state densities [42], The local scaling approach of Ludena and Kryachko has also been generalized to excited states [43]. 

It was recently shown that a formal density expansion of space-time correlation functions of quantum mechanical many-body systems is possible in very general terms [297]. The formalism may be applied to collision-induced absorption to obtain the virial expansions of the dipole... 

The statistical mechanical verification of the adsorption Equation 11 proceeds most conveniently with use of the expression for y given by Equation 5. An identical starting formula is obtained via the virial theorem or by differentiation of the grand partition function (3). We simplify the presentation, without loss of generality, by restricting ourselves to multicomponent classical systems possessing a potential of intermolecular forces of the form... 

The most general of the equations of state is the virial equation, which is also the most fundamental since it has a direct theoretical connection to the intermolecular potential function. The virial equation of state expresses the deviation from ideality as a series expansion in density and, in terms of molar volume, can be written... 

The application of cubic equations of state to mixtures requires expression of the equation-of-state parameters as functions 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 Redlich/Kwong equation are ... 

Pitzer (1973) re-examined the statistical mechanics of aqueous electrolytes in water and derived a different but semi-empirical method for activity coefficients, commonly termed the Pitzer specific-ion-interaction model. He fitted a slightly different function for behavior at low concentrations and used a virial coefficient formulation for high concentrations. The results have proved extremely fruitful for modeling activity coefficients over a very large range of molality. The general equation is...

Section 2 brings the cluster development for the osmotic pressure. Section 3 generalizes the approach of Section 2 to distribution functions, including a new and simple derivation of the cluster expansion of the pair distribution function. Section 4 presents a new expression for the chemical potential of solvents in dilute solutions. Section 5 contains an application of our general solution theory to compact macromolecular molecules. Section 6 contains the second osmotic virial coefficient of flexible macromokcules, followed in Section 7 by concluding remarks. 

We have used the results of the general theory discussed in the earlier part of this paper in the calculation of the second virial coefficient of solutions of compact and flexible macromolecules. Our results express the large deviation of the macromolecular solutions from an ideal solution as functions of the large dimensions or on the large internal degrees of...
