Viscosity, critical vapors

Batch Stirred Tank SO Sulfonation Processes. If the color of the derived sulfonate is not critical, such as ia the productioa of oil-soluble ag-emulsifiers, a simple batch sulfoaatioa procedure can be employed based on vaporizing liquid SO (Niaol Labs, 1952) (13,263). Pilot Chemical Company adapted the original Morrisroe 60—70% oleum—SO2 solvent sulfonation process (256) to utilize 92% Hquid SO —8% Hquid SO2 mixtures, and more recently usiag 100% Hquid SO. This cold sulfoaatioa low viscosity sulfoaatioa process produces exceUeat quaHty products, and reportedly has also been adapted for continuous processiag as weU. The derived sulfonic acid must be stripped of SO2 solvent after completing sulfonation and digestion. 

An overview of some basic mathematical techniques for data correlation is to be found herein together with background on several types of physical property correlating techniques and a road map for the use of selected methods. Methods are presented for the correlation of observed experimental data to physical properties such as critical properties, normal boiling point, molar volume, vapor pressure, heats of vaporization and fusion, heat capacity, surface tension, viscosity, thermal conductivity, acentric factor, flammability limits, enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy, entropy, activity coefficients, Henry s constant, octanol—water partition coefficients, diffusion coefficients, virial coefficients, chemical reactivity, and toxicological parameters. 

Values for many properties can be determined using reference substances, including density, surface tension, viscosity, partition coefficient, solubihty, diffusion coefficient, vapor pressure, latent heat, critical properties, entropies of vaporization, heats of solution, coUigative properties, and activity coefficients. Table 1 Hsts the equations needed for determining these properties. 

For prediction of the vapor viscosity of pure hydrocarbons at low pressure (below Tr of 0., the method of Stiel and Thodos is the most accurate. Only the molecular weight, the critical temperature, and the critical pressure are required. Equation (2-97) with values of N from Eqs. (2-98) and (2-99) is used. 

If critical pressure and critical temperature are given in Pa and K, respectively, viscosities in centipoise result. The variable Io is either the low pressure pure component or mixture viscosity according to whether a pure component or mixture is being considered. For mixtures, simple molar average pseiidocritical temperature (Kay s rule), pressure, and density, and molar average molecular weight are used. The vapor density can be predicted by the methods previously discussed. Errors of above 5 percent are common for hydrocarbons and their mixtures. Experimental densities will reduce the errors slightly. 

Data on the gas-liquid or vapor-liquid equilibrium for the system at hand. If absorption, stripping, and distillation operations are considered equilibrium-limited processes, which is the usual approach, these data are critical for determining the maximum possible separation. In some cases, the operations are are considerea rate-based (see Sec. 13) but require knowledge of eqmlibrium at the phase interface. Other data required include physical properties such as viscosity and density and thermodynamic properties such as enthalpy. Section 2 deals with sources of such data. 

The test for critical or non-critical does not apply. These equations apply to single-phase (at inlet) liquids, non-flashing to vapor on venting, fluid viscosity is less than or equal to water [69]. 

The quantities defined by Eqs. (2)—(7) plus Vs max, Vs min, and the positive and negative areas, A and, enable detailed characterization of the electrostatic potential on a molecular surface. Over the past ten years, we have shown that subsets of these quantities can be used to represent analytically a variety of liquid-, solid-, and solution-phase properties that depend on noncovalent interactions [14-17, 84] these include boiling points and critical constants, heats of vaporization, sublimation and fusion, solubilities and solvation energies, partition coefficients, diffusion constants, viscosities, surface tensions, and liquid and crystal densities. 

Water freezes to ice at 0°C expands by about 10% on freezing boils at 100°C vapor pressure at 0°, 20°, 50°, and 100°C are 4.6, 17.5, 92.5, and 760 torr, respectively dielectric constant 80.2 at 20°C and 76.6 at 30°C dipole moment in benzene at 25°C 1.76 critical temperature 373.99°C critical pressure 217.8 atm critical density 0.322 g/cm viscosity 0.01002 poise at 20°C surface tension 73 dynes/cm at 20°C dissolves ionic substances miscible with mineral acids, alkalies low molecular weight alcohols, aldehydes and ketones forms an azeotrope with several solvents immiscible with nonpolar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, hexane, chloroform, benzene, toluene, and carbon disulfide. 

The Physical Properties are listed next. Under this loose term a wide range of properties, including mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties of elements are presented. Such properties include color, odor, taste, refractive index, crystal structure, allotropic forms (if any), hardness, density, melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, critical constants (temperature, pressure and vol-ume/density), electrical resistivity, viscosity, surface tension. Young s modulus, shear modulus, Poisson s ratio, magnetic susceptibility and the thermal neutron cross section data for many elements. Also, solubilities in water, acids, alkalies, and salt solutions (in certain cases) are presented in this section. 

Homogeneous Liquids. The physical properties important in determining the suitability of a liquid for propellant application are the freezing point, vapor pressure, density, and viscosity. To a lesser extent, other physical properties are important such as the critical temperature and pressure, thermal conductivity, ability to dissolve nitrogen or helium (since gas pressurization is frequently used to expel propellants) and electrical conductivity. Also required are certain thermodynamic properties such as the heat of formation and the heat capacity of the material. The heat of formation is required for performing theoretical calculations on the candidate, and the heat capacity is desired for calculations related to regenerative cooling needs. 

Note that the viscosity of the saturated liquid is equal to the viscosity of the saturated vapor at the critical point. The isobars above the saturation line give the viscosity of liquid ethane, and the isobars below the saturation line give the viscosity of ethane gas. 

For any pure chemical species, there exists a critical temperature (Tc) and pressure (Pc) immediately below which an equilibrium exists between the liquid and vapor phases (1). Above these critical points a two-phase system coalesces into a single phase referred to as a supercritical fluid. Supercritical fluids have received a great deal of attention in a number of important scientific fields. Interest is primarily a result of the ease with which the chemical potential of a supercritical fluid can be varied simply by adjustment of the system pressure. That is, one can cover an enormous range of, for example, diffusivities, viscosities, and dielectric constants while maintaining simultaneously the inherent chemical structure of the solvent (1-6). As a consequence of their unique solvating character, supercritical fluids have been used extensively for extractions, chromatographic separations, chemical reaction processes, and enhanced oil recovery (2-6). 

Table 1 gives the components present in the crude DDSO and their properties critical pressure (Pc), critical temperature (Tc), critical volume (Vc) and acentric factor (co). These properties were obtained from hypothetical components (a tool of the commercial simulator HYSYS) that are created through the UNIFAC group contribution. The developed DISMOL simulator requires these properties (mean free path enthalpy of vaporization mass diffusivity vapor pressure liquid density heat capacity thermal conductivity viscosity and equipment, process, and system characteristics that are simulation inputs) in calculating other properties of the system, such as evaporation rate, temperature and concentration profiles, residence time, stream compositions, and flow rates (output from the simulation). Furthermore, film thickness and liquid velocity profile on the evaporator are also calculated.

B. The critical pressure of a liquid is its vapor pressure at the critical temperature and is always a constant value. A rising temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules and decreases the importance of intermolecular attraction. More molecules will be free to escape to the vapor phase (vapor pressure increases), but the effect of attractions at the liquid-gas interface will fall (surface tension decreases) and molecules will flow against each other more easily (viscosity decreases).
