Virial coefficients of mixtures

The theoretical foundations of these rules are, however, rather weak the first one is supposed to result from a formula derived by London for dispersion forces between unlike molecules, the validity of which is actually restricted to distances much larger than r the second one would only be true for molecules acting as rigid spheres. Many authors tried to check the validity of the combination rules by measuring the second virial coefficients of mixtures. It seems that within the experimental accuracy (unfortunately not very high) both rules are roughly verified.24...

Reliable methods for estimating and correlating third virial coefficients of mixtures have not yet been developed. Even for pure substances, the extent of our knowledge concerning C is very limited. In part this ignorance is due to a lack of reliable data. No techniques for the direct determination of C have been devised, and third virial coefficients can be extracted from p, K, T-data only if they are extensive and highly precise. The temperature dependence of the third virial coefficient has been determined for relatively few pure substances interaction virial coefficients are known for only a handfiil of mixtures.

Evidently, therefore, relations for the partial molar volume cannot be devised without expressing partial derivatives of virial coefficients of mixtures by means of constants for the individual constituents. For the sake of simplicity, let us calculate the derivative of the second virial coefficient.

For a pure vapor the virial coefficients are functions only of temperature for a mixture they are also functions of composition. An important advantage of the virial equation is that there are theoretically valid relations between the virial coefficients of a mixture and its composition. These relations are ...

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 ...

Dymond and Smith [11] give an excellent compilation of virial coefficients of gases and mixtures. Cholinski et al. [12] provide second virial coefficient data for individual organic compounds and binary systems. The latter book also discusses various correlational methods for calculating second virial coefficients. Mason and Spurling [13] have written an informative monograph on the virial equation of state. 

The estimation of the jamming coverage for the RSA of monodisperse disks is not an important issue, because its value is already accurately known from Monte Carlo simulations [12], However, it is of interest to develop a procedure that can predict the available area and the jamming coverage for a mixture of disks, for which much Less information is available. Even at equilibrium, for which reasonable accurate equations of state for binary mixtures of hard disks are known for low densities [ 19,20], the available area vanishes only for the unphysical total coverage 9 = 9 +0p = 1 (where the subscripts S and L stand for small and large disk radii, respectively), hence there is no jamming . Exact analytical expressions are known only for the first three virial coefficients of a binary mixture of disks [21], The fourth and fifth coefficients were computed numerically for some diameter ratios and molar fractions for an equilibrium gas [22], However, there are no such calculations for the RSA model.

The parameter is best obtained by fitting the equation for to the experimental heats of mixing of analogous materials as reported elsewhere It can also be obtained from any other binary quantity such as the second virial coefficient, the thermal expansion coefficient of mixture, or the volume change on mixing. is assumed to be independent of temperature but as we described in the previous section this may not be valid. At present there is no way of predicting the temperature variation and one can only use empirical expressions or assume a constant value most appropriate for the temperature range of interest.

In the above equations denotes the vapor mole fraction of component i, Pf is the vapor pressure of the pure component i, Bu is the second virial coefficient of component i, dn = 2Bn — Bn — B22 and B 2 is the crossed second virial coefficient of the binary mixture. The vapor pressures, the virial coefficients of the pure components and the crossed second virial coefficients of the binary mixtures were taken from [32], The Wilson [38], NRTL [39] and the Van Ness-Abbott [40] equations were used for the activity coefficients in Eq. (17). The expressions for the activity coefficients provided by these three methods were differentiated analytically and the obtained derivatives were used to calculate D = 1 -I- Xj(9 In Yil 2Ci)pj. There is good agreement between the values of D obtained with the three expressions for the systems V,V-dimethylformamide-methanol and methanol-water. For the system V,V-dimethylformamide-water, the D values calculated with the Van Ness-Abbott equation [40] were found in good agreement with those obtained with the NRTL equation, but the agreement with the Wilson expression was less satisfactory.
