Equations of state mixtures

The mixture cohesive energy density, coh-m> was not to be obtained from some mixture equation of state but rather from the pure-component cohesive energy densities via appropriate mixing rules. Scatchard and Hildebrand chose a quadratic expression in volume fractions (rather than the usual mole fractions) for coh-m arid used the traditional geometric mean mixing rule for the cross constant ... 

A serious test of mixture equations of state is shown to be their application for prediction of solubility of solutes in supercritical fluids (JJ. ). In the present report, we apply the Redl ich-Kwong and the Peng-Robinson equations of state for supercritical fluid extraction of solids and study the effect of choosing different mixing rules on prediction of solubility of solids in supercritical fluids -Figures 1-5. 

Corresponding-states theory (Prigogine, 1957 Flory, 1970) incorporates features of the pure component properties and liquid structure in the mixture equation-of-state, producing nonzero values of AFm and contributing enthalpic and entropic terms beyond those in Flory-Huggins theory. The theory assumes that all pure components and mixtures obey the same universal equation-of-state, e.g., (Flory, 1970)... 

At present, there is no exact high-density boundary condition for mixture equations of state. However, there is the ob.servation that, at liquid densities, the empirical activity coefficient models (such as those of van Laar, Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, etc.) discussed earlier provide a good representation of the excess or nonideal part of the free energy of mixing. Therefore, another boundary condition that could be imposed is as follows ... 

One approach is to use a mixture equation of state (EOS). This could be one of the cubic EOS mentioned in Section 1.2.5, but their poor performance for pure-fluid densities also carries over to mixtures. More sophisticated mixture EOS are available that make use of the reference-quality equations of state described in Section 1.2.4. If such an EOS exists for each component in a mixture, such an approach can produce good densities. A computer database is available [9] that implements this approach for common refrigerants and light hydrocarbons. 

The three approaches mentioned in the previous section may also be used to describe caloric properties (enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity) of mixtures. The same considerations mentioned earlier are also true for the application of mixture equations of state and corresponding-states methods for the prediction of caloric properties.

Our main interest here will be in determining how the thermodynamic properties of the mixture depend on species concentrations. That is, we would like to know the concentration dependence of the mixture equations of state. 

Alternatively, if U is the internal energy per unit mass of pure species i, then the development of a mixture equation of state would be simple if... 

Thus, the interrelationships provided by Eqs. 8.2-8 through 8.2-15 are really restrictions on the mixture equation of state. As such, these equations are important in minimizing the amount of experimental data necessary in evaluating the thermodynamic, properties of mixtures, in simplifying the description of multicomponent systems, and in testing the consistency of certain types of experimental data (see Chapter 10). Later in this chapter we show how the equations of change for mixtures and the Gibbs-Duhem equations provide a basis for the experimental determination of partial molar properties. 

An important observation in this chapter is that the equations of change for a multicomponent mixture are identical, in form, to those for a pure fluid. The difference between the two is that the pure fluid equations contain thermodynamic properties (U, H, S, etc.) that can be computed from pure fluid equations of state and heat capacity data, whereas in the multicomponent case these thermodynamic properties can be computed only if the appropriate mixture equation of state and heat capacity data or enthalpy-concentration and entropy-concentration data are given, or if we otherwise have enough information to evaluate the necessary concentration-dependent partial molar quantities. at all temperatures, pressures, and compositions of interest Although this represents an important computational difference between the pure fluid and mixture equations. 

Here a new parameter jiry, known as the binary interaction parameter, has been introduced to result in more accurate mixture equation-of-state calculations. This parameter is found by fitting the equation of state to mixture data (usually vapor-liquid equilibrium data, as discussed in Chapter 10). Values of the binary interaction parameter k - that have been reported for a number of binary mixtures appear in Table 9.4-1. Equations 9.4-8 and 9.4-9 are referred to as the van der Waals one-fluid mixing rules. The term one-fluid derives from the fact that the mixture is being described by the same equation of state as the pure fluids, but with concentration-dependent parameters. 

In this chapter and the previous two, many different types of phase equilibrium were considered. It is our hope that by first presenting the thermodynamic basis of phase equilibrium in Chapters 7 and 8, followed by the models for activity coefficients and mixture equations of state in Chapter 9, and then considering many types of phase... 

The media with which one has to deal when investigating preparation processes of hydrocarbon systems are invariably multi-phase and multi-component mixtures. Section II thus covers the aspects of the hydromechanics of physical and chemical processes necessary for an understanding of the more specialized material contained in following sections. Among these are transfer phenomena of momentum, heat, mass, and electrical charge conservation equations for isothermal and non-isothermal processes for multi-component and multi-phase mixtures equations of state, and basic phenomenological relationships. 

Figure 8.15 Change of Gibbs energy on mixing for class II stability behavior at constant T and P. Both the mixture equation of state and the fugadty equation bifurcate, producing distinct branches in and a vapor-Uquid phase separation. However, no branch spans all x. Filled circles are phases in equilibrium long dashes metastable short dashes unstable. Curves computed using Redlich-Kwong equation.

Class III Both mixture equations and one pure equation bifurcate. This behavior differs from class II in that now one branch of g xi) spans all Xj. This happens when the equation of state for one pure bifurcates in addition to the bifurcations that occur in both the mixture equation of state and the mixture fugadty equation. We distinguish two subclasses in dass IIIA mixtures the pure-2 equation bifurcates, while in class IIIB mixtures the pure-1 equation bifurcates. Since fi = 0 when Xj = 0, the three branches of in class IIIA mixtures must all emanate from the origin, like the curve for 10 bar in Figure 8.13. In class IIIB mixtures, the pure-1 fugadties will generally have different values, as in Figure 8.16 the smallest identifies the stable pure phase. 

For the classes of binary-mixture stability behavior discussed in 8.4.2 make a table that tells whether the equation of state and the fugacity equation bifurcate. Your table should contain five rows, one for each class (I, II, IIIA, IIIB, IV), and it should have four columns, one for each equation (pure-1 equation of state, pure-2 equation of state, mixture equation of state, and mixture fugacity equation). 

There are many practical models for calculating properties of mixtures of two or more fluids. A mixture equation of state should provide an accurate... 

The codes incorporate multiple material equations of state (analytical or SESAME tabular). Every cell can in principle contain a mixture of all the materials in a problem assuming that they are in pressure and temperature equilibrium. As described in Appendix C, pressure and temperature equilibrium is appropriate only for materials mixed molecularly. The assumption of temperature equilibrium is inappropriate for mixed cells with interfaces between different materials. The errors increase with increasing density differences. While the mixture equations of state described in Appendix C would be more realistic, the problem is minimized by using fine numerical resolution at interfaces. The amount of mass in mixed cells is kept small resulting in small errors being introduced by the temperature equilibrium assumption. 

The pressure and temperature are calculated from the density, internal energy, and cell mass fractions using the subroutines HOM, HOM2S, HOMSG, HOM2G, or HOM2SG described in section 4. Mixed cells carry the individual component densities and energies as calculated from the mixture equation of state. 

The composition of the mass to be moved from the donor to acceptor cell is determined as follows. Materials common to both the donor and acceptor cell are moved according to the mass fractions of common materials in the acceptor cell. If the donor and acceptor cell have no common materials, then mass is moved according to the mass fractions of the donor cell. The mass to be moved from the donor cell has the density and energy determined for that component or components by the mixture equation of state calculation in Phase I. Only one material is permitted to be depleted in one time step. Therefore, the DM ASS term is corrected by dividing by cell p used in Phase IV and replacing it with the p of the material being moved from the donor cell pk)-... 

The DE term is calculated using the internal energy of the component being moved from the donor cell as calculated from the mixture equation of state routines in Phase I.
