Liquid Density of Alkanes and Halogenated Alkanes Mixtures in a Corresponding States Format

1998

The Corresponding States (CS) density models for mixture proposed here, one for saturated and one for compressed liquid, are analytically similar to the pure fluid liquid density exposed in the former paper, but now with critical constants and 8,, replacing wm , as from the mixing rules. The mixing rules present two adjustable interaction coefficients for each binary pair, but they are set to unity making the two models completely predictive: both in fact do not preliminarily require any density data for the mixture of interest. To improve the prediction accuracy a correlative mode is here proposed in which the om parameter is substituted with a 8,, (x) function which parameters are regressed from saturated liquid data, when available, for the binary mixture of interest. The two models are validated with mixtures experimental data for the families of alkanes and hydrofluoroalkanes (HFC) and the prediction accuracy obtained is significatively better with respect to the existing predictive liquid density models for mixtures. The result is particularly useful for the studies about the new generation refrigerants applications.

An analytical equation of state for some liquid refrigerants

Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2005

A new analytical equation of state is examined for a number of compressed liquid HCFC and HFC refrigerants. The equation is that of Ihm et al. in which the three temperature dependant parameters, second virial coefficient, van der Waals co-volume, and the correcting parameter for the softness of potential energy, are calculated by means of the corresponding states correlations developed by Papari et al. The required scaling constants are the heat of vaporization and the density at boiling point, H vap and ρ nb , respectively. The EoS is applied to these liquid refrigerants to calculate the density at a good range of temperatures lower than their critical points. The results are fairly consistent with the experiment, at most within ±5%.

A correlation of densities of liquid polar and nonpolar refrigerants from critical temperature

Physics and Chemistry of Liquids, 2018

We developed an equation of state based on statistical-mechanical perturbation theory for polar and nonpolar refrigerants. The equation is that the Ihm, Song and Mason, in which the three temperature dependant parameters are, calculated by means of the corresponding states correlations. In this work, it is shown that using the critical constants of fluids as scale constants would correlate the temperature-dependent parameters of the equation of state with sufficient accuracy. We have tested the predicted equation of state against the experimental data for a large number of haloalkanes including a number of the environmentally acceptable HFCs (R23,

able ~'2. However, a generalized design procedure would require temperature dependence of liquid viscosity coefficients. The most common one is the Andrade equation relating the natural logarithm of viscosity coefficient and the inverse temperature. This equation is not exact over the entire liquid range although it is a good approximation below the normal boiling point. Based on the theory of corresponding states, several empirical correlations have been proposed for monoatomic and diatomic liquefied Volume 8 Number

Prediction of thermodynamic properties of some hydrofluoroether refrigerants using a new equation of state

The density of three hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) in extended ranges of temperature and pressure has been calculated using a new equation of state (EoS) and the results are shown as three-dimensional surfaces of density–temperature–pressure. A wide comparison with experimental data was made. The accuracy of the equation of state was determined by the statistical parameters. The results show that the equation of state reproduces the experimental PVT data of HFEs within experimental errors throughout the liquid phase. The thermodynamic properties such as isobaric expansion coefficient, isothermal compressibility, internal pressure, the difference between isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, and vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) prediction for these hydrofluoroether (HFE) refrigerants have been performed using this EOS.

Prediction of the volumetric and thermodynamic properties of some refrigerants using GMA equation of state

International Journal of Refrigeration-revue Internationale Du Froid, 2007

In this work, we have calculated the densities of two mixtures composed of 1-propanol + toluene and ethanol + toluene at different temperatures, pressures, and compositions using GMA equation of state (EoS). We have also calculated some thermodynamic properties of these mixtures such as isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, isothermal compressibility coefficient, internal pressure, and excess functions such as the excess volumes, excess Gibbs free energy, excess enthalpy, excess entropy, excess internal energy, and excess Helmholtz free energy. A wide comparison with the experimental data shows the ability of this equation of state to reproduce and predict different thermodynamic properties.

VAPOR -LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM, THERMODYNAMIC AND VOLUMETRIC PROPERTIES OF REFRIGERANTS FROM CUBIC EQUATIONS OF STATE

Science and Technology of Environmental Protection, 2002

Vapor-liquid equilibrium, thermodynamic and volumetric properties were predicted for three pure hydrofluorocarbons (R32, R125 and R134a) as well as for binary mixtures of these refrigerants. Three cubic equations of state GEOS3C, SRK (Soave-Redlich-Kwong) and PR (Peng-Robinson) were used. A wide comparison with literature experimental data was made. For the binary refrigerant mixtures, classical van der Waals mixing rules without interaction parameters were used. The GEOS3C equation, with three parameters estimated by matching several points on the saturation curve (vapor pressure and corresponding liquid volumes), compares favorably to other equations in literature, resting simple enough for applications.
