Solubility Parameter of Fluids from Molecular Thermodynamic Model

Thermodynamic model for mineral solubility in aqueous fluids: theory, calibration and application to model fluidflow systems

We present a thermodynamic model for mineral dissolution in aqueous fluids at elevated temperatures and pressures, based on intrinsic thermal properties and variations of volumetric properties of the aqueous solvent. The standard thermodynamic properties of mineral dissolution into aqueous fluid consist of two contributions: one from the energy of transformation from the solid to the hydrated-s...

The Solubility of Potassium Sulfate in Thermodynamic view

The solubility of K2SO4 in water at 25°C was determined. Comparing the value ofthermodynamic solubility product constant, Ksp(th), (Ksp(th) = exp (-ΔGodiss RT) of the mentionedsalt to the value of concentration solubility product, Ksp(c) which is obtained from the observedsolubility, s/moL-1, Ksp(c) = 4s3, revealed a great difference. The difference can be satisfactorilyexplained using Debye- H...

Thermodynamic Limit for Polydisperse Fluids

We examine the thermodynamic limit of fluids of hard core particles that are polydisperse in size and shape. In addition, particles may interact magnetically. Free energy of such systems is a random variable because it depends on the choice of particles. We prove that the thermodynamic limit exists with probability 1, and is independent of the choice of particles. Our proof applies to polydispe...

Lennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory

By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT)  based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...

Nucleobases in Supercritical Fluids: Solubility, Molecular Beam Expansion, and Surface Deposition

Supercritical fluids have found applications in a wide variety of fields, from solvents for reaction media to engineering of nanoparticles. They are also of interest in the analytical field for transferring non-volatile organic molecules into the gas phase for detection and deposition purposes. This work highlights the use of supercritical fluids as an analytical tool for the transfer of a grou...
