چکیده

The new mathematical framework based on the free energy of pure classical fluids presented by Rohrmann [Physica A 347, 221 (2005)] is extended to multicomponent systems to determine thermodynamic and structural properties of chemically complex fluids. Presently, the theory focuses on D-dimensional mixtures in the low-density limit (packing factor eta<0.01). The formalism combines the free-energy minimization technique with space partitions that assign an available volume v to each particle. v is related to the closeness of the nearest neighbor and provides a useful tool to evaluate the perturbations experimented by particles in a fluid. The theory shows a close relationship between statistical geometry and statistical mechanics. New, unconventional thermodynamic variables and mathematical identities are derived as a result of the space division. Thermodynamic potentials mu(il), conjugate variable of the populations N(il) of particles class i with the nearest neighbors of class l are defined and their relationships with the usual chemical potentials mu(i) are established. Systems of hard spheres are treated as illustrative examples and their thermodynamics functions are derived analytically. The low-density expressions obtained agree nicely with those of scaled-particle theory and Percus-Yevick approximation. Several pair distribution functions are introduced and evaluated. Analytical expressions are also presented for hard spheres with attractive forces due to Kac-tails and square-well potentials. Finally, we derive general chemical equilibrium conditions.

Temperature fluctuations and mixtures of equilibrium states in the canonical ensemble

It has been suggested recently that ‘q-exponential’ distributions which form the basis of Tsallis’ non-extensive thermostatistical formalism may be viewed as mixtures of exponential (Gibbs) distributions characterized by a fluctuating inverse temperature. In this paper, we revisit this idea in connection with a detailed microscopic calculation of the energy and temperature fluctuations present ...

Predicting the Liquid Density of Gas Condensates and LNG Mixtures from Equations of State

In this contribution, two approaches are followed to predict the saturated liquid density of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures. In one approach, 12 cubic equations of state (EoSs), comprising the popular Peng-Robinson (PR) and Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS), are employed to predict the saturated liquid density of 20 LNG mixtures. In the other approach, these EoS are used in conjunction with a rec...
