An analytical equation of state by Song and Mason is developed to calculate the PVT properties ofmercury. The equation of state is based on the statistical-mechanical perturbation theory of hard convexbodies and can be written as a fifth-order polynomial in the density. There exists three temperaturedependentparameters in the equation of state; the second virial coefficient, an effective molecu...

supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...

The composition functionality of the mixture energy parameter, aM, used in the Gibbs-Helmholtz Constrained (GHC) equation of state is studied. An analysis is presented that shows that aM for liquid mixtures is approximately quadratic in composition. All non-quadratic behavior is due solely to ln(TcM) in the GHC up-scaling equation. If a mean value approximation of this term is used, then aM is ...

In this paper a control problem for a controlled linear stochastic equation in a Hilbert space and an exponential quadratic cost functional of the state and the control is formulated and solved. The stochastic equation can model a variety of stochastic partial differential equations with the control restricted to the boundary or to discrete points in the domain. The solution method does not req...

The present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (EOS) to refrigerant fluids. The objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. Two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified EOS are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. Our results showed that, the proposed EOS can predict w...

the simplified perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (spc-saft) equation of state (eos) was proposed to describe the thermodynamic properties of pure ionic liquids (ils). a set of spc-saft parameters for 2 ils was obtained by fitting the experimental liquid densities data over a wide range of temperature at atmospheric pressure. good agreement with experimental density data was o...

in this work, we consider each normal alkane as a hypothetical mixtureof methyland methylene groups, in which the interaction potential of each pair is assumed to be the average effective pair potential. then, the lir equation of state (eos) is extended for such a hypothetical mixture. also, three basic compounds, namely, propane, n-butane and cyclohexane, are used to obtain the contribution of...

a mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der waals mixing rule at low densities. the effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. the results of calculation are compared with the molecular dynami...
