Abstract: | A simple statistical mechanical theory is presented to explain phase diagrams of fluid mixtures with both a lower critical solution temperature and an upper critical solution temperature under pressure. By postulating a temperature dependence for the interaction free energy parameter of the constituent molecules and a pressure dependence for the excess volume, phase diagrams with both lower critical solution temperature, and upper critical solution temperature and their pressure dependence can be reproduced by quadratic surfaces in temperature-concentration-pressure space. The topological aspects of the observed phase diagrams in this space have been related to our theoretical model, and the thermodynamical meaning of the topologies has been interpreted based on our model. Experimental data for the mutual solubility of water and 2-butanol under pressure and that of water and 3-methylpyridine with added salts have been analyzed quantitatively and theoretical parameters are determined. |
