This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Perturbation Theories for the Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids and Solids, provides a comprehensive review of current perturbation theories—as well as integral equation theories and density functional theories—for the equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties of classical systems. Emphasizing practical applications, the text avoids complex theoretical derivations as much as possible. It begins with discussions of the nature of intermolecular forces and simple potential models. The book also presents a summary of statistical mechanics concepts and formulae. In addition, it reviews simulation techniques, providing background for the performance analyses of theories executed throughout the text using simulation data. Chapters describe integral equation theories, theoretical approaches for hard-sphere fluid or solid systems, and perturbation theories for simple fluids and solids for monocomponent and multicomponent systems. They also cover density functional theories for inhomogeneous systems and perturbative and nonperturbative approaches to describe the structure and thermodynamics of hard-body molecular fluids. The final chapter examines several more challenging systems, such as fluids near the critical point, liquid metals, molten salts, colloids, and aqueous protein solutions. This book offers a thorough account of the available equilibrium theories for the thermodynamic and structural properties of fluids and solids, with special focus on perturbation theories, emphasizing their applications, strengths, and weaknesses. Appropriate for experienced researchers as well as postgraduate students, the text presents a wide-ranging yet detailed view and provides a useful guide to the application of the theories described.

Download or read book The Thermodynamics of Linear Fluids and Fluid Mixtures written by Miloslav Pekař and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Samohýl and Pekař offer a consistent and general non-equilibrium thermodynamic description for a model of chemically reacting mixtures. This type of model is frequently encountered in practice and up until now, chemically reacting systems (out of equilibrium) have rarely been described in books on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Readers of this book benefit from the systematic development of the theory; this starts with general principles, going through the applications to single component fluid systems, and finishing with the theory of mixtures, including chemical reactions. The authors describe the simplest mixture model – the linear fluid – and highlight many practical and thermodynamically consistent equations for describing transport properties and reaction kinetics for this model. Further on in the book, the authors also describe more complex models. Samohýl and Pekař take special care to clearly explain all methodology and starting axioms and they also describe in detail applied assumptions and simplifications. This book is suitable for graduate students in chemistry, materials science and chemical engineering as well as professionals working in these and related areas.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equations of state (EoS) have proved to be a reliable tool in chemical engineering thermodynamics for modeling the physical properties of complex systems. Various types of EoS have been developed based on different theories. For various reasons, some have become more popular for use in industry and academia. Of the popular EoS, two were chosen for investigation in this thesis. The first one was the Perturbed Chain- Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT), an equation derived based on statistical mechanics and the second was the Peng-Robinson (PR) EoS, a cubic EoS commonly used in industry. In this work, the prediction capabilities of these two EoS were compared for several properties. The analysis began with an evaluation of their use in the prediction of the saturation properties of pure components and derivative properties from ambient conditions to the supercritical range. The particular derivative properties studied include the isochoric and isobaric heat capacities, the speed of sound, and the isothermal compressibility. In general, it was concluded that PC-SAFT outperforms PR in all cases. Next, the same primary and derivative properties of several binary and a select ternary mixture were studied. To improve agreement with experimental data, a binary interaction parameter was introduced and fitted to binary mixture vapor - liquid equilibria (VLE) data. This procedure drastically improved the accuracy of the models compared to the case where no binary interaction parameter used for the case of VLE predictions. However, for the case of the derivative properties, the use of the binary interaction parameter to ensure a more accurate representation of the interactions between molecules had only a marginal effect on the prediction of these properties. Finally, phase equilibria of hydrates were studied. As EoS for fluids are not designed to predict the properties of solid phases, the van der Waals-Platteeuw model was incorporated to allow for the prediction of three-phase equilibrium conditions of various hydrate formers. Specifically, this work focused on the equilibrium of a water-rich liquid phase, a hydrate phase and a vapor phase rich in a hydrate former. In all cases, calculations of the solid hydrate phase properties are based on the Kihara potential. This potential requires three parameters to be defined; initial values for which were found through a review of the literature. The accuracy of the predictions of the three-phase equilibrium is highly dependent on the reliability of these parameters. Thus, one of the parameters, the so-called Îæ parameter, was fitted to hydrate equilibrium data and resulted in a significant improvement in the accuracy of predictions of both PC-SAFT and PR EoS. The new set of parameters was then used to predict the three-phase equilibrium of several binary, ternary and quaternary mixtures of hydrate forming agents. Several conclusions are drawn from this work, including the observation that the accuracy of the models is reduced when the number of components increases.

Book excerpt: The major goal of the project was to study the effect of critical fluctuations on the thermophysical properties and phase behavior of fluids and fluid mixtures. Long-range fluctuations appear because of the presence of critical phase transitions. A global theory of critical fluctuations was developed and applied to represent thermodynamic properties and transport properties of molecular fluids and fluid mixtures. In the second phase of the project, the theory was extended to deal with critical fluctuations in complex fluids such as polymer solutions and electrolyte solutions. The theoretical predictions have been confirmed by computer simulations and by light-scattering experiments. Fluctuations in fluids in nonequilibrium states have also been investigated.
