Introduction

Although significant improvements are being made in predicting thermodynamic properties of pure fluids and mixtures using theory based methods, more accurate equations of state for calculating properties over a wide range of pressures and temperatures are to be developed by correlation of selected experimental data.

formulations, the application of linear optimization procedures and nonlinear multiproperty fitting algorithm is stateof-art (Span, 2000). Modern equations of state are usually explicit in the Helmholtz energy as a function of density and temperature (Span, 2000). As far as binary mixtures are concerned, Tillner-Roth and Friend (1998), for example, have published a formulation of the thermodynamic properties of the

Data on the properties of the LiCl–H2O concerning the states outside the vapor–liquid equilibrium are scarce and incomplete (Brown et al., 2004; Majer et al., 1989, 1991; Pepinov et al., 1989; Urusova, 1971; Ohling and Schneider, 1979; Gates and Wood, 1985; Ellis, 1966). Two separate Gibbs energy functions for liquid and gas phase provide an alternative form of the thermodynamically consistent description of the vapor–liquid equilibrium region.

Infante Ferreira (2006) developed a description of this form for the LiBr–H2O solutions. No thermodynamically consistent description of the properties of lithium chloride–water system is available in open literature. The LiCl–H2O system is one of the working-pairs for absorption cycles studied as an alternative to the most common working fluids – H2O–NH3 and LiBr–H2O. In practical computations, separate equations are often preferred for describing particular thermodynamic properties of interest, though such equations are thermodynamically consistent only approximately in the numerical sense. There exist a number of studies that provide description of various binary systems in the form of a set of separate equations for pressure, density, isobaric thermal capacity, enthalpy, and entropy of the system at vapor–liquid equilibrium. The historical Haltenberger’s method (1939) is used to compute values of enthalpy and entropy of the system from experimental data. In the case of LiCl–H2O solutions, Chaudhari and Patil (2002) have published their enthalpy in the form of polynomial valid up to 50 wt% and 393 K. Conde (2004) has published separate equations for various thermophysical properties of the system including equilibrium pressure, density, isobaric thermal capacity and differential enthalpy of dilution. The aim of the present study was to provide a formulation of the thermodynamic properties of LiCl–H2O system in the vapor–liquid equilibrium states valid from 273 K or from the crystallization temperature (whichever is greater) up to 400 K in temperatures and from pure water up to 50 wt% in compositions. The formulation should be based on all available experimental data and it should approximate the correlated data within their experimental uncertainties. The property description should be computationally effective, i.e., explicit, simple and easily implementable. These are indispensable properties for the description to find its users in practical calculations. The formulation has the form of two separate equations for Gibbs energy of the liquid and vapor phase so that the equilibrium p–T–x relation can be established from the condition of phase equilibrium. The gas phase of the system can be considered as pure steam as the vapor pressure of the LiCl is quite negligible to the vapor pressure of H2O. All vapor phase properties are therefore considered as functions of temperature and pressure only, independent on the solute mole fraction y which is considered to be identically equal to zero. The description of the thermodynamic properties of the pure water based on

approximation of the IAPWS 1995 formulation (Wagner and Pruß, 2002) is given in Section 4. Thus the main task is to develop a description of the molar Gibbs energy of the LiCl–H2O solutions. In the present paper, partial molar quantities of components in a mixture and molar quantities of pure substance related to water or solute are distinguished by subscript w or s, respectively, e.g., mw, mvs . The quantities related to the vapor phase of the mixture are distinguished by superscript v, e.g., mvw. The quantities related to the solution which occur the most often in equations have no superscript letter, to make the notation more readable, i.e., g, h, mw, ms. The phase is indicated by superscript g for gas and by l for the liquid phase, in the case of a property of a pure substance to distinguish it from that of mixture, e.g., glw, ggw. All solution properties are considered as functions of temperature, pressure and composition expressed as the mole fraction x of the solute in the solution. It should be mentioned that the molar Gibbs energy of pure water is identical to its chemical potential, i.e., ggw h mgw and glw h mlw. Specific quantities and mass fraction w used in common computational practice are related to the molar quantities by the following relations: xMLiCl ; xMLiCl þ ð1  xÞMw

w=MLiCl ; w=MLiCl þ ð1  wÞ=Mw

Based on the thermodynamic theory of electrolyte solutions, molar Gibbs energy of the solution can be expressed in the following general form (Pitzer, 1998, p. 247):

where ki ¼ 0 for the terms of the solute Gibbs energy g0s of the infinitely dilute standard state. The square root of the molar ratio:

i h  x     1 þ ge : g ¼ 1  x glw þ xg0s þ nxRT ln 1x



(12)

The Gibbs energy of pure liquid water glw and the third term of the right-hand side of Eq. (12) representing the ideal mixing contribution are known functions. The excess Gibbs energy ge and the Gibbs energy g0s ( g0s h m0s ) of the solute at the infinitely dilute standard state (Pitzer, 1998, p. 246), should be determined from experimental data on thermodynamic properties of the solution. In the present work, the potentials ge and g0s are approximated by polynomials with terms Pi of the following general form:  Pi ¼ ai

In this way, the solute standard property and the excess property are included in one polynomial and the approximation function for the molar Gibbs energy is expressed as: " # N  x    l 1X 1þ Pi : (17) g ¼ 1  x gw þ nxRT ln 1x n i¼1 Definitions (15) and (16) imply that the numerical factor n has been included into the coefficients of the fitting polynomial. As a result n does not enter explicitly the expressions for the solution enthalpy, entropy, molar volume, isobaric heat capacity and differential enthalpy of dilution, which are the quantities most often used in practical computations. Based on Eq. (17) for the Gibbs energy the standard thermodynamic relations give the following expressions for other thermodynamic quantities of the liquid phase of the system: !

The equations for the pure water properties mlw, hlw, slw, vlw, and clp, w are given in Section 4. As ki ¼ 0 for i  N0, the lower limit i ¼ 1 in the sums contained in Eqs. (18), (24) and (25) can be changed to i ¼ N0 þ 1. The excess properties are given by the terms of the fitting polynomial with i > N0. For example the excess volume is expressed as:

which has no effect on the values of enthalpy and entropy in the pure water limit. In the present study, the coefficients a1 and a2 have been adjusted in accordance with common practice so that the enthalpy and entropy of the solution take their zero values at composition w ¼ 0.3 at temperature 273.15 K (Chaudhari and Patil, 2002). In the present description of the thermodynamic properties of the LiCl–H2O system, the reference values of enthalpy and entropy of pure water are adjusted consistently with the reference state of IAPWS 95 formulation (see Section 4 of the present paper). Since the 5th International Conference on the Properties of Steam in London in 1956, the specific internal energy and specific entropy of the saturated liquid at the triple point have been arbitrarily set equal to zero. This yields for the specific enthalpy of the saturated liquid at the triple point the value of 0.611782 J kg1 (Wagner and Pruß, 2002, p. 429). The number of the significant figures of the coefficients ai of the resultant fitting polynomial has been limited to six in the present study. As a result, the reference values of enthalpy and entropy in the reference states are only approximated. The deviations from exact reference values are small in

At the initial step of the fitting procedure used here, the equilibrium property data available as usual in dependence on the temperature and solution composition (i.e., v(T, x), cp(T, x), etc.) should be completed by corresponding equilibrium values of pressure p(T, x). A separate equation fitted to experimental p–T–x data was used to this purpose. As soon as the first version of the Gibbs energy equation (12) is established, the values of pressure p(T, x) for the next iteration step are computed from the condition of vapor–liquid equilibrium as described in the next section. In each step, a new set of optimal regressors is selected and their corresponding coefficients ai are computed.

p–T–x Relation

The p–T–x relation is defined by the conditions of the phase equilibrium given, in general, by equality of chemical potentials of the solvent and solute in coexisting phases:

(31)

In the present model, the vapor molar fraction y of the solute is supposed to be equal to zero ( y h 0) and the conditions of equilibrium (30) and (31) reduce to the equation:     (32) mw T; p; x ¼ mgw T; p ; where the chemical potential of water in the gas phase mvw(T, p, y) is approximated by the chemical potential of pure water mgw(T, p). The condition (32) defines the equilibrium p–T–x relation. For given values of each two of the variables T, p and x the value of the third one can be computed from the condition. The chemical potential mgw(T, p) of the water in gas phase has the general form of:       p þ u T; p ; (33) mgw T; p ¼ RT ln pc where u(T, p) denotes the chemical potential function except for the term logarithmic in pressure (see Eq. (37), Section 4).

The condition (32) can thus be rewritten into an iteration equation:        mw T; pi ; x  u T; pi : (34) piþ1 T; x ¼ pc exp RT Eq. (34) is solvable with precision of 0.1 Pa in several iterations starting from an arbitrary initial value of the pressure.

Description of the thermodynamic properties of pure water substance Equation for the Gibbs energy ggw(T, p) and glw(T, p) of pure gas and liquid phase water at pressure and temperature of the mixture were developed in the present study, based on data calculated from the IAPWS 95 formulation (Wagner and Pruß, 2002).

Table 1 presents the obtained coefficients ai and exponents ni and mi for liquid and gas phase, respectively. The coefficient a0 equal to zero for liquid phase and equal to 1 for gas is introduced only to unify the notation of Eqs. (37)–(41) for both phases. The approximation equations for ggw(T, p) and glw(T, p) are valid at temperatures from 273.16 K to 400 K. The maximum deviations of the calculated values from the IAPWS 95 values are given in Table 2. The accuracy of approximation used in the present study for the liquid phase turned out to be necessary to represent the most precise experimental data on the solution density within their experimental uncertainties. Values generated by Eqs. (37)–(41) are given in Table 3 to facilitate their implementation.

Data selection

Not all the original works provide sufficient comparable evidence on which to base a judgement of the relative merits of the various sets of results. To assess the quality of the particular sets of experimental data, all the data for each property (i.e., p–T–x, 9Tx, and cp–T–x relation) were preliminary fitted simultaneously with weights equal to the reciprocal of the number of points in each set. In this way, the effect of different number of data points contained in particular data sets was canceled. Mean relative (i.e., systematic) deviation of each particular data set provides an idea of how the set is shifted as a whole with respect to the common average values given by the resultant function. In this way, the experimental data were divided into two categories: primary data employed in the development of the correlation and secondary data with excessive systematic deviation and/or excessively scattered, which were used only for comparison purposes. The data sets covering a subregion of the T–x plane covered by no other data set were accepted for correlation in any case. In addition, some isolated points from the accepted data sets were also rejected when their deviation from the preliminary

correlation exceeded three times the root mean square deviation. The sources of the assessed sets of experimental data together with their relative root mean square deviation (RMSD) and mean relative deviation (MRD) are listed in Tables 4–7. The temperature, pressure and composition ranges covered by each data set are also indicated here. The number of points used for fitting is given in the table for the primary data while for the secondary data it is equaled to zero. Within the present study, 136 experimental works have been collected containing a total of 2921 data points on various thermodynamic properties of the LiCl–H2O solutions. A body of 1704 of them was selected as the primary data used for fitting of the representative equation.

Results

The respective coefficients ai and exponents mi, ni and ki of the Gibbs energy g0s and ge in Eq. (17) are given in Table 8. The number of significant figures given in the coefficients ai is necessary and sufficient to obtain the stated accuracy. Values of the particular properties generated by the resultant representative equations are provided in Table 9 to assist with the confirmation of computer implementation of the calculation procedure.

Estimates for the uncertainty of an empirical equation of state must be guided by comparisons with experimental data and the assessment of their uncertainty. In Figs. 1–5 the deviations of the data used in the fitting procedure from the corresponding resultant representative equation are depicted, while in the Figs. 7–10 deviations for the rejected data are plotted. Data on activity coefficient were used only for comparison (Fig. 6). Based on these comparisons the uncertainties associated with correlation are estimated to be 0.4% for molar volume, 2.0% for pressure and 2.4% for isobaric heat capacity. In the case of enthalpy and entropy, comparisons with existing formulations can assist in the assessment. The values of relative uncertainties in pressure, density (molar volume) and isobaric heat capacity for the present formulation of the thermodynamic properties of LiCl–H2O solutions are quite similar to those of the LiBr–H2O system in Pa´tek and Klomfar (2006). Therefore, uncertainty in values of enthalpy can be estimated in accordance with Pa´tek and Klomfar (2006) to be less than

10 kJ kg1 and for entropy less than 0.03 kJ kg1 K1. With decreasing molar fraction x, all the uncertainties should decrease to those of approximation of pure water properties summarized in Table 2. The resulting thermodynamic properties are depicted in Figs. 11–19 as functions of the solution composition.

Conclusion

The description of the thermodynamic properties of the LiCl– H2O system in the vapor–liquid equilibrium states developed in the present work fulfills most of the requirements given in Section 1. The available experimental data on the properties of the LiCl–H2O system have been compiled and evaluated using a well-substantiated quantitative procedure. The method used to develop the equation for the Gibbs energy makes possible to process all the relevant experimental information symmetrically and the redundancy of the information is thus fully utilized. The formulation has the form of two separate equations for Gibbs energy of liquid and vapor phase, so that the equilibrium p–T–x relation can be established by solution of the equation representing the condition of equilibrium. The code in ANSI C implementing the present formulation of the thermodynamic properties of the LiCl– H2O system is available from the authors on request. The formulation describes well the specific form of the dependency of the osmotic coefficient on composition close to pure water, though at the price that a reasonable extrapolation in the solute molar fraction x beyond the region covered by experimental data (limited from above by x ¼ 0.3 and w ¼ 0.5) is not possible. In contrary, extrapolation at temperatures up to 400 K may be acceptable. Comparisons of available measurements on the thermodynamic properties of the LiCl–H2O solutions have shown that the amount of available experimental data is far less valuable to establish a description of the thermodynamic properties of the system than it might appear at a first glance. Many of the available sets of VLE data are only of limited value, because they show large scatter or systematic deviations when compared to other data. The largest gap in the data is clearly found at temperatures below 298 K, above 373 K and at compositions above 44 wt% (x ¼ 0.25) of LiCl in the solution. Single-phase (compressed liquid) data are quite scarce and fragmentary.
