Virial second coefficient

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...

As discussed in Chapter 3, the virial equation is suitable for describing vapor-phase nonidealities of nonassociating (or weakly associating) fluids at moderate densities. Equation (1) gives the second virial coefficient which is used directly in Equation (3-lOb) to calculate the fugacity coefficients. 

Equilibrium constants,, for all possible dimerization reactions are calculated from the metastable, bound, and chemical contributions to the second virial coefficients, B , as given by Equations (6) and (7). The equilibrium constants, K calculated using Equation (3-15). 

VPLQFT is a computer program for correlating binary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at low to moderate pressures. For such binary mixtures, the truncated virial equation of state is used to correct for vapor-phase nonidealities, except for mixtures containing organic acids where the "chemical" theory is used. The Hayden-0 Connell (1975) correlation gives either the second virial coefficients or the dimerization equilibrium constants, as required.

The same result can also be obtained directly from the virial equation of state given above and the low-density fonn of g(r). B2(T) is called the second virial coefficient and the expansion of P in powers of is known as the virial expansion, of which the leading non-ideal temi is deduced above. The higher-order temis in the virial expansion for P and in the density expansion of g(r) can be obtained using the methods of cluster expansion and cumulant expansion.

A direct and transparent derivation of the second virial coefficient follows from the canonical ensemble.
