In many production routes, and also during processing, polymer systems have to undergo pressure. Changes in the volume of a system by compression or expansion, however, cannot be dealt with in rigid-lattice-type models. Thus, non-combinatorial free volume ( equation of state ) contributions to AG have been advanced [23 - 29]. Detailed interaction functions have been suggested (but all of them are based on adjustable parameters, for blends, e.g., Mean-field lattice gas [30], SAFT [31], specific interactions [32]), and have been succesfully applied, for example, by Kennis et al. [33]. 

A central theme of the modern theory of liquids is a reappreciation of the van der Waals equation of state. The traditional presentations of the van der Waals equation of state feature discussion of two concepts (Widom, 2002, see Section 7.2) (/) 2ifree volume modification of the ideal gas equation of state based on the fact that molecules can t overlap much, and (ii) modification of that free volume equation of state to reflect attractive interactions between molecules. The result is... 

The potential of Eq. (1) with parameters determined in Refs. [10, 11] was thoroughly tested in computer simulations of silica polymorphs. In Ref. [10], the structural parameters and bulk modulus of cc-quartz, a-cristobalite, coesite, and stishovite obtained from molecular dynamics computer simulations were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The a to / structural phase transition of quartz at 850 K ha.s also been successfully reproduced [12]. The vibrational properties computed with the same potential for these four polymorphs of crystalline silica only approximately reproduce the experimental data [9]. Even better results were reported in Ref. [5] where parameters of the two-body potential Eq. (1) were taken from Ref. [11]. It was found that the calculated static structures of silica polymorphs are in excellent agreement with experiments. In particular, with the pressure - volume equation of state for a -quartz, cristobalite, and stishovite, the pressure-induced amorphization transformation in a -quartz and the thermally induced a — j3 transformation in cristobalite are well reproduced by the model. However, the calculated vibrational spectra were only in fair agreement with experiments. 

The numerical results obtained for the equation of state of the three-dimensional hard sphere system in the low density region are shown in Fig. 1. A comparison is made with the equation of state obtained by numerical integration of Eq. (13) subject to Eq. (15), the superposition theory [cf. Eq. (11)], the free-volume equation of state (23), and the five-term virial expansion (32). The last...

Figure 2.2 Schematic illustration of a typical energy-volume equation of state for a solid. The cohesive energy, is indicated.

To illustrate what we mean by a statistical understanding of the state of the powder, we refer the reader to Edwards and Oakeshott (ref. 5). If the particles are sufficiently numerous and the local construction rules well-defined, then the macroscopic properties of the powder should be predictable and interesting. The essential idea is that all configurations consistent with mechanical stability are equally probable, but that for the overwhelming majority of these states the measurable properties are essentially the same. Thus, we should be able to predict, for example, the volume of a heap of sand. Unfortunately, it is necessary to understand the role of energy in our powder system in order to develop a calculus for the pressure-volume equation of state and the suppression of density fluctuations we hope to provide these insights with future experiments. The present study is a first step toward that goal. 

A rigorous relation exists between the fugacity of a component in a vapor phase and the volumetric properties of that phase these properties are conveniently expressed in the form of an equation of state. There are two common types of equations of state one of these expresses the volume as a function of...

The equation of state for an ideal gas, that is a gas in which the volume of the gas molecules is insignificant, attractive and repulsive forces between molecules are ignored, and molecules maintain their energy when they collide with each other. 

In 1873, van der Waals [2] first used these ideas to account for the deviation of real gases from the ideal gas law P V= RT in which P, Tand T are the pressure, molar volume and temperature of the gas and R is the gas constant. Fie argried that the incompressible molecules occupied a volume b leaving only the volume V- b free for the molecules to move in. Fie further argried that the attractive forces between the molecules reduced the pressure they exerted on the container by a/V thus the pressure appropriate for the gas law isP + a/V rather than P. These ideas led him to the van der Waals equation of state ... 

While volume is a convenient variable for the calculations of theoreticians, the pressure is nomially the variable of choice for experimentalists, so there is a corresponding equation in which the equation of state is expanded in powers of p ...

The previous seetion showed how the van der Waals equation was extended to binary mixtures. However, imieh of the early theoretieal treatment of binary mixtures ignored equation-of-state eflfeets (i.e. the eontributions of the expansion beyond the volume of a elose-paeked liquid) and implieitly avoided the distinetion between eonstant pressure and eonstant volume by putting the moleeules, assumed to be equal in size, into a kind of pseudo-lattiee. Figure A2.5.14 shows sohematieally an equimolar mixture of A and B, at a high temperature where the distribution is essentially random, and at a low temperature where the mixture has separated mto two virtually one-eomponent phases. 

Equation (3.16) shows that the force required to stretch a sample can be broken into two contributions one that measures how the enthalpy of the sample changes with elongation and one which measures the same effect on entropy. The pressure of a system also reflects two parallel contributions, except that the coefficients are associated with volume changes. It will help to pursue the analogy with a gas a bit further. The internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of volume The molecules are noninteracting so it makes no difference how far apart they are. Therefore, for an ideal gas (3U/3V)j = 0 and the thermodynamic equation of state becomes... 

Other pressure—volume—temperature (PVT) relationships may be found in the Hterature ie, Benedict, Webb, Rubin equations of state (4—7) the Benedict, Webb, Rubin, Starling equation of state (8) the Redlich equation of state (9) and the Redlich-Kwong equation of state (10). 

The virial equations are unsuitable forhquids and dense gases. The simplest expressions appropriate (in principle) for such fluids are equations cubic in molar volume. These equations, inspired by the van der Waals equation of state, may be represented by the following general formula, where parameters b, 9 5, S, and Tj each can depend on temperature and composition ... 

Equations 175 through 179 allow calculation of thermodynamic properties from volume-expHcit equations of state, ie, equations expHcitiy solvable for volume. If an equation of state is solvable expHcitiy for pressure but not for volume, then alternative formulas must be used, where p is molar density and subscript p/n = 1/E indicates constancy of total volume. Eor equations 180, 181, and 183, T and x are constant for equation 182, Tis constant. 

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. 

Eijliations of State. An equation of state can be an exceptional tool for property prediction and phase equihbrium modeling. The term equation of state refers to the equihbrium relation among pressure, volume, temperature, and composition of a substance (2). This substance can be a pure chemical or a uniform mixture of chemicals in gaseous or Hquid form. 

Here a suitable equation of state is required to provide a mathematical expression for the mixture molar volume, V. For some equations of state, it is better to use a form of equation 28 in which the integral is volume expHcit (3). Note also that for an ideal gas — Z — 1, and 0 = 1. 

Reduced Equations of State. A simple modification to the cubic van der Waals equation, developed in 1946 (72), uses a term called the ideal or pseudocritical volume, to avoid the uncertainty in the measurement of volume at the critical point. 

No tables of the coefficients of thermal expansion of gases are given in this edition. The coefficient at constant pressure, l/t)(3 0/3T)p for an ideal gas is merely the reciprocal of the absolute temperature. For a real gas or liquid, both it and the coefficient at constant volume, 1/p (3p/3T),, should be calculated either from the equation of state or from tabulated PVT data. 

An afternate method with approximately the same accuracy as the Rackett method is the COSTALD metnod of Hanldnson and Thomson.The critical temperature, a characteristic volume near the critical volume, and an acentric factor optimized for vapor pressure prediction by the Soave equation of state are required input parameters. The method is detailed in the Technical Data Book ... 

Temperature, pressure, and composition are thermodynamic coordinates representing conditions imposed upon or exhibited by the system, andtne functional dependence of the thermodynamic properties on these conditions is determined by experiment. This is quite direct for molar or specific volume which can be measured, and leads immediately to the conclusion that there exists an equation of. state relating molar volume to temperature, pressure, and composition for any particular homogeneous PVT system. The equation of state is a primaiy tool in apphcations of thermodyuamics.
