A comparison of molecular-based models to determine vapor–liquid phase coexistence in hydrogen fluoride
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ž . In this work, we apply the Gibbs–Duhem integration GDI technique to obtain the vapor–liquid equilibrium Ž . VLE properties of hydrogen fluoride according to three potential models. Properties examined include coexistence densities, enthalpy of vaporization, and vapor pressure. The models are representative of the various types of potentials used in simulation studies; namely, a pure pair potential from ab initio studies, an effective pair potential which fits parameters to condensed phase properties, and a semi-empirical pair potential. The effective pair potential was found to be the best performer of the three potentials tested, with semi-quantitative agreement with experiment. The other potentials which, by definition, did not include 3q body effects performed poorly at most states. The effective pair potential is used to specify parameters in a Statistical Ž . Ž . Associating Fluid Theory SAFT model for hydrogen fluoride HF . Significant improvement is seen over previous attempts to model HF using SAFT, although shortcomings do remain. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Hydrogen fluoride phase behavior and molecular structure: A QMÕMM potential model approach
A molecular-orbital derived polarizable potential function is developed to model liquid and supercritical fluid hydrogen fluoride. The model is based on a novel application of a combined quantum-mechanical and molecular-mechanical ~QM/MM! approach, which treats molecular polarization by a semiempirical method. Two geometrical models are examined, differing in the intramolecular bond length for ...
متن کاملHydrogen fluoride phase behavior and molecular structure: Ab initio derived potential models
Several variations of ab initio based molecular models for hydrogen fluoride ~HF! are examined by Monte Carlo molecular simulation to determine their bulk-phase properties. The models are taken from the literature, and represent fits of functional forms to the potential energy surface of the HF dimer as given by ab initio computational chemistry calculations. For one of these models, we examine...

The vapor–liquid coexistence densities, vapor pressure, and heat of vaporization of hydrogen fluoride ~HF! is calculated via Monte Carlo simulation from three intermolecular potential models that are found in the literature. The first is a pure pair potential based solely on ab initio data, the second is a semi-empirical pair potential which uses an ab initio derived surface fitted with dimer s...
