Pure-fluid

Correlation and compilation of vapor-pressure data for pure fluids. Normal and low pressure region. 

Figure 1 shows second virial coefficients for four pure fluids as a function of temperature. Second virial coefficients for typical fluids are negative and increasingly so as the temperature falls only at the Boyle point, when the temperature is about 2.5 times the critical, does the second virial coefficient become positive. At a given temperature below the Boyle point, the magnitude of the second virial coefficient increases with... 

Correlations for standard-state fugacities at 2ero pressure, for the temperature range 200° to 600°K, were generated for pure fluids using the best available vapor-pressure data. 

Appendix C presents properties and parameters for 92 pure fluids and characteristic binary-mixture parameters for 150 binary pairs. 

The film pressure is defined as the difference between the surface tension of the pure fluid and that of the film-covered surface. While any method of surface tension measurement can be used, most of the methods of capillarity are, for one reason or another, ill-suited for work with film-covered surfaces with the principal exceptions of the Wilhelmy slide method (Section II-6) and the pendant drop experiment (Section II-7). Both approaches work very well with fluid films and are capable of measuring low values of pressure with similar precision of 0.01 dyn/cm. In addition, the film balance, considerably updated since Langmuir s design (see Section III-7) is a popular approach to measurement of V. 

Figure A2.5.11. Typical pressure-temperature phase diagrams for a two-component fluid system. The fiill curves are vapour pressure lines for the pure fluids, ending at critical points. The dotted curves are critical lines, while the dashed curves are tliree-phase lines. The dashed horizontal lines are not part of the phase diagram, but indicate constant-pressure paths for the T, x) diagrams in figure A2.5.12. All but the type VI diagrams are predicted by the van der Waals equation for binary mixtures. Adapted from figures in [3].

A third exponent y, usually called the susceptibility exponent from its application to the magnetic susceptibility x in magnetic systems, governs what m pure-fluid systems is the isothennal compressibility k, and what in mixtures is the osmotic compressibility, and detennines how fast these quantities diverge as the critical point is approached (i.e. as > 1).

In the macroscopic heat-transfer term of equation 9, the first group in brackets represents the usual Dittus-Boelter equation for heat-transfer coefficients. The second bracket is the ratio of frictional pressure drop per unit length for two-phase flow to that for Hquid phase alone. The Prandd-number function is an empirical correction term. The final bracket is the ratio of the binary macroscopic heat-transfer coefficient to the heat-transfer coefficient that would be calculated for a pure fluid with properties identical to those of the fluid mixture. This term is built on the postulate that mass transfer does not affect the boiling mechanism itself but does affect the driving force. 

Solvent Strength of Pure Fluids. The density of a pure fluid is extremely sensitive to pressure and temperature near the critical point, where the reduced pressure, P, equals the reduced temperature, =1. This is shown for pure carbon dioxide in Figure 2. Consider the simple case of the solubihty of a soHd in this fluid. At ambient conditions, the density of the fluid is 0.002 g/cm. Thus the solubiUty of a soHd in the gas is low and is given by the vapor pressure over the total pressure. The solubiUties of Hquids are similar. At the critical point, the density of CO2 is 0.47 g/cm. This value is nearly comparable to that of organic Hquids. The solubiHty of a soHd can be 3—10 orders of magnitude higher in this more Hquid-like CO2.

Although PVT equations of state are based on data for pure fluids, they are frequently appHed to mixtures. 7h.e virial equations are unique in that rigorous expressions are known for the composition dependence of the virial coefficients. Statistical mechanics provide exact mixing rules which show that the nxh. virial coefficient of a mixture is nxh. degree in the mole fractions ... 

The phase rule specifies the number of intensive properties of a system that must be set to estabUsh all other intensive properties at fixed values (3), without providing information about how to calculate values for these properties. The field of appHed engineering thermodynamics has grown out of the need to assign numerical values to thermodynamic properties within the constraints of the phase rule and fundamental laws. In the engineering disciplines there is a particular demand for physical properties, both for pure fluids and mixtures, and for phase equiUbrium data (4,5). 

Equations of State. Equations of state having adjustable parameters are often used to model the pressure—volume—temperature (PVT) behavior of pure fluids and mixtures (1,2). Equations that are cubic in specific volume, such as a van der Waals equation having two adjustable parameters, are the mathematically simplest forms capable of representing the two real volume roots associated with phase equiUbrium, or the three roots (vapor, Hquid, sohd) characteristic of the triple point.

The prediction of drop sizes in liquid-liquid systems is difficult. Most of the studies have used very pure fluids as two of the immiscible liquids, and in industrial practice there almost always are other chemicals that are surface-active to some degree and make the pre-dic tion of absolute drop sizes veiy difficult. In addition, techniques to measure drop sizes in experimental studies have all types of experimental and interpretation variations and difficulties so that many of the equations and correlations in the literature give contradictoiy results under similar conditions. Experimental difficulties include dispersion and coalescence effects, difficulty of measuring ac tual drop size, the effect of visual or photographic studies on where in the tank you can make these obseiwations, and the difficulty of using probes that measure bubble size or bubble area by hght or other sample transmission techniques which are veiy sensitive to the concentration of the dispersed phase and often are used in veiy dilute solutions.

X is the scalar distance between the solute molecule and the center of the imaginary membrane, with the LJ parameters of the solute used as reducing parameters. The residual chemical potential for a pure fluid (which would correspond to component 2 in its pure state at the state conditions of cell A) can then, for example, be found using the expression... 

Figure 7.1 Representation of the phase diagram for a pure fluid such as water. The shaded area is the continuum tlirough wliich we can continuously vary the properties of the fluid. The liigh-pressure and liigh-temperature limits shown here are arbittary. They depend only on the capabilities of the experimental apparatus and the stability of the apparatus and the fluid.

The shaded region is that part of the phase diagram where liquid and vapor phases coexist in equilibrium, somewhat in analogy to the boiling line for a pure fluid. The ordinary liquid state exists on the high-pressure, low-temperature side of the two-phase region, and the ordinary gas state exists on the other side at low pressure and high temperature. As with our earlier example, we can transform any Type I mixture...

The reader interested in more details is referred to the work by Lochiel (L10), Davies (D7), and Kintner (K4) and to the numerous works which they review. In general, what must be kept in mind is that fluids in most laboratory, and in all industrial, operations cannot be treated theoretically as though their surfaces were those of pure fluids. 

The effective viscosity of a suspension of particles in a fluid medium is greater than that of the pure fluid, owing to the energy dissipation within the electrical double layers. 

Here ppj is the vapour pressure of the pure fluid i, Xi is its mole fraction in the liquid phase, yi is its activity coefficient and pj is the actual vapour partial pressure. 

Free settling means that the particle is at a sufficient distance from the boundaries of the container and from other particles, and that the density of the medium is that of a pure fluid, as for example, water. If two different mineral particles of densities pj and p2 and diameters d1 and d2 respectively fall in a fluid of density p3 with the same settling rate, then their terminal velocities must be the same. From Stokes law this gives for the laminar range...
