Thermodynamic properties isothermal compressibility

The experiments result in an explicit measure of the change in the shock-wave compressibility which occurs at 2.5 GPa. For the small compressions involved (2% at 2.5 GPa), the shock-wave compression is adiabatic to a very close approximation. Thus, the isothermal compressibility Akj- can be computed from the thermodynamic relation between adiabatic and isothermal compressibilities. Furthermore, from the pressure and temperature of the transition, the coefficient dO/dP can be computed. The evaluation of both Akj-and dO/dP allow the change in thermal expansion and specific heat to be computed from Eq. (5.8) and (5.9), and a complete description of the properties of the transition is then obtained. 

The form of equations (8.11) and (8.12) turns out to be general for properties near a critical point. In the vicinity of this point, the value of many thermodynamic properties at T becomes proportional to some power of (Tc - T). The exponents which appear in equations such as (8.11) and (8.12) are referred to as critical exponents. The exponent 6 = 0.32 0.01 describes the temperature behavior of molar volume and density as well as other properties, while other properties such as heat capacity and isothermal compressibility are described by other critical exponents. A significant scientific achievement of the 20th century was the observation of the nonanalytic behavior of thermodynamic properties near the critical point and the recognition that the various critical exponents are related to one another ... 

This treatment assumes that the forces between molecules in relative motion are related directly to the thermodynamic properties of the solution. The excluded volume does indeed exert an indirect effect on transport properties in dilute solutions through its influence on chain dimensions. Also, there is probably a close relationship between such thermodynamic properties as isothermal compressibility and the free volume parameters which control segmental friction. However, there is no evidence to support a direct connection between solution thermodynamics and the frictional forces associated with large scale molecular structure at any level of polymer concentration.

A gaseous pure component can be defined as supercritical when its state is determined by values of temperature T and pressure P that are above its critical parameters (Tc and Pc). In the proximity of its critical point, a pure supercritical fluid (or a dense gas as it is alternatively known) has a very high isothermal compressibility, and this makes possible to change significantly the density of the fluid with relatively limited modifications of T and P. On the other hand, it has been shown that the thermodynamic and transport properties of supercritical fluids can be tuned simply by changing the density of the medium. This is particularly interesting for... 

We start with the supposed simplest fluid model. For hard spheres, the essential thermodynamic [7] properties are the pressure and the isothermal compressibility (there is no energy) that read... 

Thermodynamic properties, such as the excess energy [Eq. (4)], the pressure [Eq. (5)], and the isothermal compressibility [Eq. (7)] are calculated in a consistent manner and expressed in terms of correlation functions [g(r), or c(r)], that are themselves determined so that Eq. (17) is satisfied within 1%. It is usually believed that for the thermodynamic quantities, the values of the correlation functions B(r) and c(r), e.g.] do not matter as much inside the core. This may be true for quantities dependent on g(r), which is zero inside the core. But this is no longer true for at least one case the isothermal compressibility that depends critically on the values of c(r) inside the core, where major contribution to its value is derived. In addition, it should be stressed that the final g(r) is slightly sensitive to the consistent isothermal compressibility. 

Preliminary to such a search we examine several thermodynamic properties of fluids at or close to criticality, that clearly show why and how fluctuations dominate under such conditions, (i) Consider first the isothermal compressibility, kj = —(dV/dP)T/V. At the critical point the isotherm dP/dV)r has zero slope thus, Ki grows indefinitely as T —> Tc. (ii) Using Eq. (1.3.13) and the definition for K one finds that (dV/dT)p = -(dV/dP)TidPldT)v = KiV dP/dT)y, wherein (dP/dT)v does not vanish. Therefore, the coefficient of thermal expansion, = i /V) dV/BT)p also grows without limit as the critical point is approached, (iii) According to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in the form AH = T(Vg — Vi)(dP/dT), the heat of vaporization of the fluid near the critical point becomes very small, since Vg — Vi 0, whereas dP/dT remains finite. 

The Kirkwood—Buff (KB) theory of solution (often called fluctuation theory) employs the grand canonical ensemble to relate macroscopic properties, such as the derivatives of the chemical potentials with respect to concentrations, the isothermal compressibility, and the partial molar volnmes, to microscopic properties in the form of spatial integrals involving the radial distribution function. This theory allows one to obtain information regarding some microscopic characteristics of mnlti-component mixtures from measurable macroscopic thermodynamic quantities. However, despite its attractiveness, the KB theory was rarely used in the first three decades after its publication for two main reasons (1) the lack of precise data (in particular regarding the composition dependence of the chemical potentials) and (2) the difficulty to interpret the results obtained. Only after Ben-Naim indicated how to calculate numerically the Kirkwood—Buff integrals (KBIs) for binary systems was this theory used more frequently. 

Therefore, it is important to have a theoretical tool which allows one to examine (or even predict) the thickness of the LC region and the value of the LC on the basis of more easily available experimental information regarding liquid mixtures. A powerful and most promising method for this purpose is the fluctuation theory of Kirkwood and Buff (KB). " The KB theory of solutions allows one to extract information about the excess (or deficit) number of molecules, of the same or different kind, around a given molecule, from macroscopic thermodynamic properties, such as the composition dependence of the activity coefficients, molar volume, partial molar volumes and isothermal compressibilities. This theory was developed for both binary and multicomponent solutions and is applicable to any conditions including the critical and supercritical mixtures. 

It was shown previously [5,14] that the KB theory of solution can be used to relate the thermodynamic properties of ternary mixtures, such as the partial molar volumes, the isothermal compressibility and the derivatives of the chemical potentials to the KB integrals. In particular for the derivatives of the activity coefficients one can write the following rigorous relations [5] ... 

Another approach is to employ rigorous statistical thermodynamic theories. In this paper, the Kirkwood-Buff (KB) theory of solutions (fluctuation theory of solutions) is employed to analyze the thermodynamics of multicomponent mixtures, with the emphasis on quaternary mixtures. This theory connects the macroscopic properties of re-component solutions, such as the isothermal compressibility, the concentration deriva-... 

Another method suggested by the authors for predicting the solubility of gases and large molecules such as the proteins, drugs and other biomolecules in a mixed solvent is based on the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions [18]. This theory connects the macroscopic properties of solutions, such as the isothermal compressibility, the derivatives of the chemical potentials with respect to the concentration and the partial molar volumes to their microscopic characteristics in the form of spatial integrals involving the radial distribution function. This theory allowed one to extract some microscopic characteristics of mixtures from measurable thermodynamic quantities. The present authors employed the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solution to obtain expressions for the derivatives of the activity coefficients in ternary [19] and multicomponent [20] mixtures with respect to the mole fractions. These expressions for the derivatives of the activity coefficients were used to predict the solubilities of various solutes in aqueous mixed solvents, namely ... 

An analysis of the cosolvent concentration dependence of the osmotic second virial coefficient (OSVC) in water—protein—cosolvent mixtures is developed. The Kirkwood—Buff fluctuation theory for ternary mixtures is used as the main theoretical tool. On its basis, the OSVC is expressed in terms of the thermodynamic properties of infinitely dilute (with respect to the protein) water—protein—cosolvent mixtures. These properties can be divided into two groups (1) those of infinitely dilute protein solutions (such as the partial molar volume of a protein at infinite dilution and the derivatives of the protein activity coefficient with respect to the protein and water molar fractions) and (2) those of the protein-free water—cosolvent mixture (such as its concentrations, the isothermal compressibility, the partial molar volumes, and the derivative of the water activity coefficient with respect to the water molar fraction). Expressions are derived for the OSVC of ideal mixtures and for a mixture in which only the binary mixed solvent is ideal. The latter expression contains three contributions (1) one due to the protein—solvent interactions which is connected to the preferential binding parameter, (2) another one due to protein/protein interactions (B p ), and (3) a third one representing an ideal mixture contribution The cosolvent composition dependencies of these three contributions... 

In 2002, Morrow and Maginn presented an all-atom force field for [C4mim][PF6] using a combination of DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G ) and CHARMM 22 parameter values [13]. MD simulations were carried out in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble at three different temperatures. The calculated properties contained infrared frequencies, molar volumes, volume expansivities, isothermal compressibilities, self-diffusivities, cation-anion exchange rates, rotational dynamics, and radial distribution functions. These thermodynamic properties were found to be in good agreement with available experimental values [13]. 

Diffraction experiments at high pressures provide information concerning the compression-induced changes of lattice parameters and, thus, sample volume. In pure phases of constant chemical composition and in the absence of external fields, the thermodynamic parameters volume V, temperature T and pressure P are related by equations of state, i.e. each value of a state variable can be defined as a function of the other two parameters. Some macroscopic quantities are partial differentials of these equations of state, e.g. the frequently used isothermal bulk modulus Bq of a phase at a defined temperature and zero pressure 5q = — Fq (9P/9F) for T= constant and P = 0, with the reciprocal of Bq V) being the isothermal compressibility k. Equations of state can also be formulated as derivatives of thermodynamic functions like the internal energy U or the Helmholtz free-energy F. However, for practical use the macroscopic properties of solids are often described by means of semi-empirical equations, some of which will be discussed in more detail. 

In addition to the above expressions it is also possible to obtain expressions for the isothermal compressibility and other thermodynamic properties from the site-site direction correlation functions . Such expressions require assumptions about the range of the site-site direct correlation functions and also, in some cases, are restricted to certain closures of the SSOZ equation. We will consider such routes to the thermodynamic properties in Section V.C. 

In this equation, /3 is an arbitrary frictional drag parameter (inverse time constant), chosen as the coupling parameter which determines the time scale of temperature fluctuations, T0 is the mean temperature, and T(t) is the temperature at time t (see Eq. 8). Constant-pressure conditions are enforced with a proportional scaling of all coordinates and the box length by a factor related to the isothermal compressibility for the system.94 In principle, simulations carried out in all of these ensembles should yield the same results for equilibrium properties in systems of sufficient size of course, when differing ensembles are employed, appropriate corrections (e.g., a PV correction to compare the NVT and NPT ensembles) must be introduced. So far, little work has been done to determine quantitatively the system size needed to reach the thermodynamic limit. 

The computation of thermodynamic properties in computer simulation is based largely on generalised methods using PVT relationship. Let examine how we could calculate the variation of enthalpy of a fluid when going from (T, P,) to (Tj, P - As with any thermodynamic function the variation is independent of path. There are several possibilities (Fig. 5.7). A first one could be an isothermal compression at T followed by an isobaric heating at Pj (ACD) ... 

The thermophysical and thermodynamic properties of liquid water as well as its chemical properties, all depend on the temperature and the pressure. The thermophysical and thermodynamic properties include the density p, the molar volume V = M/p, the isothermal compressibility/ct = P (dp/d P)t = —V (dV/dP)T, the isobaric expansibility ap = —p dp/dT)p = V dV/dT)p, the saturation vapour pressure p, the molar enthalpy of vapourization Ayf7, the isobaric molar heat capacity Cp, the Hildebrand solubility parameter 3h = [(Ay// —RT)/ the surface tension y, the dynamic viscosity rj, the relative permittivity Sr, the refractive index (at the sodium D-line) and the self-diffusion coefficient T>. These are shown...
