Stradi∗ Received/Recibido: 16 Feb 2004 Abstract The determination of critical points of mixtures is important for both practical and theoretical reasons in the modeling of phase behavior, especially at high pressure. The equations that describe the behavior of complex mixtures near critical points are highly nonlinear and with multiplicity of solutions to the critical point equations. Interval arithmetic can be used to reliably locate all the critical points of a given mixture. The method also verifies the nonexistence of a critical point if a mixture of a given composition does not have one. This study uses an interval Newton/Generalized Bisection algorithm that provides a mathematical and computational guarantee that all mixture critical points are located. The technique is illustrated using several ex- ample problems. These problems involve cubic equation of state models; however, the technique is general purpose and can be applied in connection with other nonlinear problems.

  • Chapter 9: Other Topics in Phase Equilibria
    Chapter 9: Other Topics in Phase Equilibria This chapter deals with relations that derive in cases of equilibrium between combinations of two co-existing phases other than vapour and liquid, i.e., liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, and solid- vapour. Each of these phase equilibria may be employed to overcome difficulties encountered in purification processes that exploit the difference in the volatilities of the components of a mixture, i.e., by vapour-liquid equilibria. As with the case of vapour-liquid equilibria, the objective is to derive relations that connect the compositions of the two co-existing phases as functions of temperature and pressure. 9.1 Liquid-liquid Equilibria (LLE) 9.1.1 LLE Phase Diagrams Unlike gases which are miscible in all proportions at low pressures, liquid solutions (binary or higher order) often display partial immiscibility at least over certain range of temperature, and composition. If one attempts to form a solution within that certain composition range the system splits spontaneously into two liquid phases each comprising a solution of different composition. Thus, in such situations the equilibrium state of the system is two phases of a fixed composition corresponding to a temperature. The compositions of two such phases, however, change with temperature. This typical phase behavior of such binary liquid-liquid systems is depicted in fig. 9.1a. The closed curve represents the region where the system exists Fig. 9.1 Phase diagrams for a binary liquid system showing partial immiscibility in two phases, while outside it the state is a homogenous single liquid phase. Take for example, the point P (or Q).

    Notes on Phase Seperation Chem 130A Fall 2002 Prof. Groves Consider the process: Pure 1 + Pure 2 Æ Mixture of 1 and 2 We have previously derived the entropy of mixing for this process from statistical principles and found it to be: ∆ =− − Smix kN11ln X kN 2 ln X 2 where N1 and N2 are the number of molecules of type 1 and 2, respectively. We use k, the Boltzmann constant, since N1 and N2 are number of molecules. We could alternatively use R, the gas constant, if we chose to represent the number of molecules in terms of moles. X1 and X2 represent the mole fraction (e.g. X1 = N1 / (N1+N2)) of 1 and 2, respectively. If there are interactions between the two ∆ components, there will be a non-zero Hmix that we must consider. We can derive an expression ∆H = 2γ ∆ ∆ for Hmix using H of swapping one molecule of type 1, in pure type 1, with one molecule of type 2, in pure type 2 (see adjacent figure). We define γ as half of this ∆H of interchange. It is a differential interaction energy that tells us the energy difference between 1:1 and 2:2 interactions and 1:2 interactions. By defining 2γ = ∆H, γ represents the energy change associated with one molecule (note that two were involved in the swap). ∆ γ Now, to calculate Hmix from , we first consider 1 molecule of type 1 in the mixed system. For the moment we need not be concerned with whether or not they actually will mix, we just want ∆ to calculate Hmix as if they mix thoroughly.

Two phenomenological models are used: the mean-field model and the hybrid model. Free model parameters are fixed by fitting the lattice QCD data on the pion Bose condensate density at zero temperature. In spite of some minor differences the two model demonstrate an identical qualitative and very close quantitative behavior for the thermodynamic functions and electric charge fluctuations.

  • An Algebraic Geometric Method for Calculating Phase Equilibria from Fundamental Equations of State Hythem Sidky,1 Alan C
    An algebraic geometric method for calculating phase equilibria from fundamental equations of state Hythem Sidky,1 Alan C. Liddell, Jr,2 Dhagash Mehta,1, 2 Jonathan D. Hauenstein,2, a) and Jonathan Whitmer1, b) 1)Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, USA. 2)Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, USA. Computing saturation properties from highly{accurate Helmholtz equations of state can be challenging for many reasons. The presence of multiple Maxwell loops often results in incorrect solutions to equations defining fluid phase coexistence. Near the critical point, the same equations also become ill{conditioned. As a consequence, without highly accurate initial guesses, it is difficult to avoid the trivial solution. Here, we propose an algorithm applying the technique of Newton homotopy continuation to determine the coexistence curve for all vapor{liquid equilibrium conditions between the triple point and critical point. Importantly, our algorithm is entirely convergence{parameter free, does not rely on the use of auxiliary equations, requires no initial guesses, and can be used arbitrarily close to the critical point. It is also fully generalizable to arbitrary equations of state, only requiring that they be locally analytic away from the critical point. We demonstrate that the method is capable of handling both technical and reference quality fundamental equations of state, is computationally inexpensive, and is useful in both evaluating individual state points and plotting entire fluid phase envelopes. Keywords: phase equilibrium, saturation conditions, Newton homotopy, phase equilibrium, nonlinear equa- tions, numerical algebraic geometry I.
