(26) Reference 14, pp 225-226. (27) One of the reviewers pointed out that the local electric fleld produced by a point charge immersed in a continuous dielectric (without cavities) is simply 9/?. In this instance, the dipole screening function would be unity. The argument proceeds as follows. The local electric field is given by the field due to the point charge, namely, q/r?, plus the sum of the fields due to microscopic electric dipoles induced in the dielectric. Inasmuch as all the polarization in the dielectric is directed radially toward the charge, its contribdion to the local field cancels out, making the local electric field simply 9/?. This argument can in fact be verified by replacing the fluid radial distribution function in eq 11 of ref 4 by unity and performing the indicated integration. A fluid characterized by a radial distribution function, which is unity everywhere, is a fluid in which the molecules may overlap. The physical impossibility of molecules overlapping is in some sense taken into account in the cavity model used in this paper. That is to say, the cavlty boundary surrounding the induced multipoles prevents the uniform dielectric representing the remaining molecules from approaching the multipoles too closely. To this extent, the repulsive aspect at the intermolecular force has been taken into account.

Solubility of Methane, Ethane, and Propane in Pure Water Using New Binary Interaction Parameters
Solubility of hydrocarbons in water is important due to ecological concerns and new restrictions on the existence of organic pollutants in water streams. Also, the creation of a thermodynamic model has required an advanced study of the phase equilibrium between water (as a basis for the widest spread muds and amines) and gas hydrocarbon phases in wide temperature and pressure ranges. Therefore,...

Abstract: Â In this study, the change in the crystalline structure of gas hydrate was predicted for ternary mixture of methane-ethane-water. For this purpose, the tangent plane distance (TPD) minimization method was used. First, the calculations were performed for the binary mixtures of methane-water and ethane-water as the gas and liquid phases. The results show that for a binary mixture of th...

The super-saturation condition has to be provided to form gas hydrates. Consequently, the prediction of the guest molecule fraction in the aqueous phase is crucial in the study of the gas hydrate kinetics. In the present work, several experiments were carried out in a semi-batch reactor in order to determine the mole fraction of methane and ethane during gas hydrates formation (growth stage...

In this paper, isomorph invariance of liquid methane is investigated by means of constant-NVT molecular dynamics simulations.

متن کاملEnergy of the excess electron in methane and ethane near the critical point
Field ionization measurements of trimethylamine in methane and triethylamine in ethane are presented as a function of perturber number density at various noncritical temperatures and near the perturber critical isotherm. Critical point effects are observed that are similar to those seen in atomic fluids. A two-Yukawa potential is shown to model the perturber/perturber interactions accurately by...
