Correlation of viscosities of pure liquids in a wide temperature range

On the basis of Eyring's absolute rate theory, a new two-parameter model is presented for correlating the viscosity data of pure saturated liquids in a wide temperate range. The correlation relates the viscosity, a non-equilibrium property, to equilibrium properties. The parameters in the new correlation can be easily determined through a few viscosity data and a knowledge of the vapor pressure, the saturated liquid volume and the heat of vaporization. The viscosities of 106 pure compounds, including polar, nonpolar, organic and inorganic liquids with total 1473 data points are correlated using this model and compared with data reported in the literature, and the overall average deviation is 1.51%. The results show that the correlation with the new model is satisfactory.     

Calculation of the Thermodynamic Properties of the Copper-Zinc System from Measured Boiling Point Values

The temperature dependences of the saturated vapor pressure, the enthalpies of vaporization, standard boiling points, enthalpies, entropies, Gibbs energies, and component activities were calculated for liquid alloys of the copper-zinc system from the measured boiling points at various pressures. The calculation results were compared with the previous data obtained for this system by other methods.     

Estimation of pure component properties: Part 3. Estimation of the vapor pressure of non-electrolyte organic compounds via group contributions and group interactions

A group contribution method for the estimation of the normal boiling point of non-electrolyte organic compounds, which was published earlier, has been the basis for development of subsequent physical property methods. In this work, the model was extended to enable the prediction of vapor pressure data with special attention to the low-pressure region. The molecular structure of the compound and a reference point, usually the normal boiling point, are the only required inputs and enables the estimation of vapor pressure at other temperatures by group contribution. The structural group definitions are similar to those proposed earlier for the normal boiling point, with minor modifications having been made to improve the predictions. Structural groups were defined in a standardized form and fragmentation of the molecular structures was performed by an automatic procedure to eliminate any arbitrary assumptions. The new method is based on vapor pressure data for more than 1600 components. The results of the new method are compared to the Antoine correlative equation using parameters stored in the Dortmund Data Bank, as well as, the DIPPR vapor pressure correlations. The group contribution method has proven to be a good predictor, with accuracies comparable to the correlations. Moreover, because the regression of group contributions was performed for a large number of compounds, the results can in several cases be considered more reliable than those of the correlative models that were regressed to individual components only. The range of the method is usually from about the triple or melting point to a reduced temperature of 0.75–0.8.

Evaluation of co-volume mixing rules for bitumen liquid density and bubble pressure estimation

The Peng–Robinson cubic equation of state (CEOS) is widely used to predict thermodynamic properties of pure fluids and mixtures. The usual implementation of this CEOS requires critical properties of each pure component and combining rules for mixtures. Determining critical properties for components of heavy asymmetric mixtures such as bitumen is a challenge due to thermolysis at elevated temperatures. Group contribution (GC) methods were applied for the determination of critical properties of molecular representations developed by Sheremata for Athabasca vacuum tower bottoms (VTB). In contrast to other GC methods evaluated, the Marrero–Gani GC method yielded estimated critical properties with realistic, non-negative values, followed more consistent trends with molar mass and yielded normal boiling points consistent with high temperature simulated distillation data. Application of classical mixing rules to a heavy asymmetric mixture such as bitumen yields saturated liquid density and bubble pressure estimates in qualitative agreement with experimental data. However the errors are too large for engineering calculations. In this work, new composite mixing rules for computing co-volumes of asymmetric mixtures are developed and evaluated. For example, composite mixing rules give improved bubble point predictions for the binary mixture ethane + n-tetratetracontane. For VTB and VTB + decane mixtures the new composite mixing rules showed encouraging results in predicting bubble point pressures and liquid phase densities.     

Generalized correlation for predicting the kinematic viscosity of liquid petroleum fractions

A two-parameter viscosity model proposed previously for pure liquids is extended to correlate the kinematic viscosity–temperature behavior for liquid petroleum fractions. The coefficients in the viscosity equation are related to the characterization properties of the petroleum fractions and a generalized kinematic viscosity–temperature correlation is then developed, which needs only specific gravity at 15.6°C and 50% boiling point as input parameters. The present method, when tested by predicting the experimental kinematic viscosities of 47 fractions from 15 world crude oils with total 250 data points, yielded reasonable results with an overall average absolute deviation of 4.2%.     

Estimation of boiling points by investigations of viscosity Arrhenius behaviours in Methyl Benzoate + n-Hexane binary liquid systems at atmospheric pressure

Calculation of excess properties in methyl benzoate + n-Hexane binary liquid mixtures at (303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K from experimental viscosity and density values was presented in earlier work. Investigations of these experimental values to test correlation quality of different equations as well as their corresponding relative functions were also reported. Considering the quasi-equality between the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH* and the viscosity Arrhenius activation energy Ea, here we can define partial molar activation energy Ea₁ and Ea₂ for methyl benzoate with n-Hexane, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between Arrhenius parameters brings to light interesting Arrhenius temperature with a comparison to the temperature of vaporisation in the liquid vapour equilibrium, and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties that can permit us to predict value of the boiling points of the pure components. New empirical equations for estimating the boiling temperature are proposed.     

Vapor pressure and activity of components of melts formed by manganese chloride and chlorides of alkaline-earth metals

The boiling points of melts were measured at different pressures over the melts for certain concentrations of components of the liquid phase in binary systems constituted by manganese chloride and chlorides of alkaline-earth metals. The temperature dependences of the saturated vapor pressure, normal boiling points, and enthalpies of evaporation were calculated. The concentration dependences of the thermodynamic activities of the components of four binary systems were analyzed.     

Corresponding-states correlation for the compressed liquid density of metals

Applying the previous correlation for the saturated liquid density of metals, we have developed a corresponding-states correlation for the prediction of their compressed liquid densities. The correlation needs the values of the melting and boiling point parameters of metals plus an adjustable parameter, used to predict the saturated liquid densities. In this work, we have shown that by employing the Tait equation together with the previous correlation, for saturated liquid densities, it is possible to develop an accurate method for the prediction of the compressed liquid density of metals. The agreement of the predicted density values with the experimental ones for alkali metals, mercury, bismuth, tin, and lead over a wide range of temperatures, from melting point up to several hundred degrees above the boiling point, and pressures ranging from the vapor pressure up to 4000 bar, is quite good. From 821 data points examined for the aforementioned metals the average absolute deviation for the calculated densities compared with experiment is 0.72%. The correlation is also examined against a number of existing regularities for the liquid phase.     

Correlation of viscosity of binary liquid mixtures

A new two-parameter model presented in the previous work for correlating the viscosity of pure liquids is extended to correlate the viscosity of binary liquid mixtures. The correlation relates this non-equilibrium property to some equilibrium properties, the volume, the internal energy of vaporization and their excess properties. The viscosities of 47 binary liquid mixtures, including different kinds, which having no maximum or minimum viscosity, which having one maximum or one minimum viscosity, and which having both of one maximum and one minimum viscosities in the whole composition range, are correlated using the model and compared with data reported in the literature with the overall average absolute deviation of 1.05%. Further comparison with a good correlation, a free-volume type correlation, is also discussed. The results show that the new method is satisfactory.     

A consistent estimation of sublimation pressures using a cubic equation of state and fusion properties

In many cases of industrial fluid–solid separation process design, a thermodynamic key parameter may be the sublimation pressure of pure components. A new trend in chemical applications is the use of supercritical solvents either in purifying operations on mixtures of complex pharmaceutical molecules or in stripping on polluted stuff. Measurements of very low sublimation pressures of heavy components are very difficult to perform although their values are of most importance in the process evaluation. Unfortunately, the prediction tools available in the literature for the estimation of sublimation pressures are poor. This paper deals with a consistent approach of sublimation pressure estimation, applicable to any pure material using on one hand easy measurements of normal fusion temperature and fusion enthalpy, and on the other hand vapor pressure data. The influence of all the uncertainties is discussed and the method is proposed as a new reference with emphasis on extrapolating reliably to very heavy compounds. By computing vapor liquid equilibrium using a cubic equation of state (EOS), the estimation of sublimation pressures is discussed in a new perspective.     

A modification to the Peng–Robinson-fitted equation of state for pure substances

In this work we present two modifications to the Peng–Robinson-Fitted equation of state where pure component parameters are regressed to vapor pressure and saturated liquid density data. The first modification (PR-f-mod) is a method that enhances the equation of state pure component property predictions through simple temperature dependent pure component parameters. In the second modification (PR-f-prop) we propose a temperature dependency for co-volume b in the repulsive parameter of the EoS, and revise the temperature function in the attractive term. The agreement with experimental data for 72 pure substances, including highly polar compounds, is remarkably good. We obtain average absolute deviations in saturated liquid density of less than 1% for all substances studied.

Monte carlo simulation of carboxylic acid phase equilibria

Configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations were carried out in the Gibbs ensemble to generate phase equilibrium data for several carboxylic acids. Pure component coexistence densities and saturated vapor pressures were determined for acetic acid, propanoic acid, 2-methylpropanoic acid, and pentanoic acid, and binary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the propanoic acid + pentanoic acid and 2-methylpropanoic acid + pentanoic acid systems. The TraPPE-UA force field was used, as it has recently been extended to include parameters for carboxylic acids. To simulate the branched compound 2-methylpropanoic acid, certain minor assumptions were necessary regarding angle and torsion terms involving the -CH- pseudo-atom, since parameters for these terms do not exist in the TraPPE-UA force field. The pure component data showed good agreement with the available experimental data, particularly with regard to the saturated liquid densities (mean absolute errors were less than 1.1%). On average, the predicted critical temperature and density were within 1% of the experimental values. All of the binary simulations showed good agreement with the experimental x-y data. However, the TraPPE-UA force field predicts saturated vapor pressures of pure components that are larger than the experimental values, and consequently the P-x-y and T-x-y data of the binary systems also deviate from the measured data.

Corresponding-states correlation for the saturated liquid density of metals and metal mixtures

A corresponding-states correlation for the prediction of the orthobaric liquid density of molten metals has been developed. The correlation is the extension of the recently developed correlation by Iglesias-Silva and Hall, which needs the values of the critical and triple point constants as well as an adjustable parameter. The critical constants are scarce for almost all metals. Our corresponding-states correlation uses the normal boiling and melting point constants plus an adjustable parameter. While the present correlation is simpler in form than the correlation by Iglesias-Silva and Hall, all of its input data are more readily available for almost all metals. In this work, we have applied the present correlation to molten alkali metals, mercury, bismuth, tin, and lead. From about 150 data points for pure liquid metals the average absolute deviation and the maximum deviation are 0.29 and 1.06%, respectively. Also, we have extended the correlation to mixtures of any number of components. The predicted results for the liquid densities of K–Cs and K–Na mixtures over the whole range of concentrations and that of a ternary molten eutectic of K–Na–Cs at temperatures ranging from melting point up to several hundred degrees above the normal boiling point are in excellent agreement with experimental data. From 247 data points examined for molten alloys, the average absolute deviation and the maximum deviation are 0.59 and 1.91%, respectively.

A new cubic equation of state for reservoir fluids

A new three-parameter cubic equation of state is developed with special attention to the application for reservoir fluids. One parameter is taken temperature dependent and others are held constant. The EOS parameters were evaluated by minimizing saturated liquid density deviation from experimental values and satisfying the equilibrium condition of equality of fugacities simultaneously. Then, these parameters were fitted against reduced temperature and Pitzer acentric factor. For calculating the thermodynamic properties of a pure component, this equation of state requires the critical temperature, the critical pressure, the acentric factor and the experimental critical compressibility of the substance. Using this equation of state, saturated liquid density, saturated vapor density and vapor pressure of pure components, especially near the critical point, are calculated accurately. The average absolute deviations of the predicted saturated liquid density, saturated vapor density and vapor pressure of pure components are 1.4%, 1.19% and 2.11%, respectively. Some thermodynamic properties of substances have also been predicted in this work.
