ABSTRACT Sivaraman, A., Magee, J. and Kobayashi, R., 1984. Correlation for prediction of latent heat of pure components incorporating renormalization group formulations with correspondingstates principle. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 16: 1-12. A corresponding-states correlation has been developed using renormalization group theory, phenomenological scaling theory and Pitzer et al’s (1955) three-parameter corresponding-states principle to predict latent heats of vaporization for simple fluids (aliphatic and atomatic hydrocarbons, including complex coal-liquid model compounds) from the freezing point to the critical point. The resulting correlation consists of an expansion in the acentric factor which is truncated after the second term, in accordance with the linear dependence observed for experimental data. The dimensionless latent heat of vaporization defined as L* = L/RT, is given by L* = LX + w*L,+,), where L’ is a nonanalytic function (Torquato and Stell, 1982). Subsequent tests of the ability of this correlation to predict latent heats of vaporization over a board domain of reduced temperatures for a large number of different types of compounds have confirmed the validity of the present approach. The results show root-mean-square deviations between reported and predicted latent heats of vaporization in the range 0.46-6.9358 for aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons including one-, two- and three-ring coal-liquid model compounds in the range of reduced temperatures 0.02 i L = (T,

INTRODUCTION

In the design of coal-conversion processes it is necessary to know the physical properties of the products, including their latent heats of vaporization. These are difficult to measure at elevated temperatures, since thermal degradation occurs for most coal-liquid model compounds_ Hence it is necessary to have a general correlation to predict latent heats with the least possible uncertainty over a wide temperature range. Although several meth037%3812/84/$03.00

ods have been proposed for estimating latent heats of vaporization (Riedel, 1954; Tamir et al., 1983; Chen, 1965) none of them is capable of predicting latent heats over the broad domain of values of interest here. Utilization of the renormalization group-theoretical approach (Wilson and Fisher, 1972) and the phenomenological scaling hypothesis (Widom, 1965; Griffiths, 1967) together to predict pure-component properties in the vicinity of the critical point is a new development. This work presents a simple correlation developed to predict latent heats of vaporization of coal-liquid model compounds (one-, two- and three-ring aromatics), and extended to other hydrocarbons and normal fluids, including, of course, simple fluids. The corresponding-states principle is applied to develop a generalized correlation. A theoretically derived expression (Torquato and Stell, 1982) is used in the present model to represent the latent heat of vaporization. However, the model parameters are treated as compound-independent by using the corresponding-states principle. As stated above, although the correlation was developed and tested for predicting latent heats of vaporization of coal-liquid model compounds, it has been extended to accommodate all other hydrocarbons and normal fluids in general. The principle of corresponding states (Pitzer et al., 1955) is frequently useful for predicting the properties of a large class of compounds from a knowledge of the properties of a few of its members. CORRELATION

FORMULATION

The proposed corresponding-states correlation heat consists of a two-term expansion:

for the dimensionless

L* = L*(0) + i&FL* (1) where

latent

(1)

L* = L/RT,,

(2) w* = w/o, R is the gas constant (8.3145 J mol-’ K-l); and w the acentric factor of the substance defined by Pitzer (1955) as w=

-logP,-1.0

(3)

T,(K) is the critical temperature under

investigation,

with P,= P/P,,where P is the vapor pressure at T,= 0.7; w, = 0.490; and PC is the critical pressure. The acentric factor can easily be obtained accurately

from a minimum amount of available data; it is an important parameter which correlates all the coal-liquid model compounds studied in this work. L& and L.$, are the reduced latent heats of vaporization taking into consideration the singular (near-critical) and analytic background contributions (Torquato and Stell, 1982): L$,, = A#

The critical exponents (Y, p and A are given by (Y= l/8, j3 = l/3 and A = l/2 (Wegner’s first “gap” exponent), obtained from renormalization group-theoretical calculations. In eqns.

at various values of E, namely, 0.02, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, 0.23, 0.26, 0.35, 0.42, 0.45, 0.50, 0.525, 0.555, 0.60 and 0.69, and plotted against w* (varying from 0 to 1) as shown in Fig. 1. The curves obtained are linear. Their slope tends towards zero as the temperature tends to T,. Results for some thirteen different compounds, including various hydrocarbons and coal-liquid aromatic compounds for which the relevant data are known precisely, are plotted in Fig. 1. Experimental latent heat of vaporization data for benzene, toluene, n-hexane, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, n-heptane, n-butylbenzene, n-decane and isobutane were taken from Vargaftic’s tables (1975). Data for fluorene and 1-methyhraphthalene were obtained in the authors’ laboratory (Sivaraman and Kobayashi, 1982; Wieczorek and Kobayashi, 1981). Data for methane and ethane were obtained from Hestermans and White (1961) and Goodwin et al. (1976). Table 1 presents the physical properties of the simple fluids considered. Table 2 presents the coefficients of the curves fitted to the latent heats of vaporization. Comparison of interpolated and experimental latent heats of vaporization gave the average deviations also reported in Table 2. Good fits are obtained using eqn. (8) as a model. As an example,

CONCLUSIONS

From a comparison of experimental latent heats of vaporization and the values predicted by the present model, it can be seen that the proposed generalized correlation is adequate for calculating latent heats of vaporization for coal-liquid model compounds, hydrocarbons and normal fluids with small deviation. The correlation works well over the entire domain of liquid-vapor coexistence from the freezing point to the critical point. This work constitutes the first comprehensive model incorporating renormalization group theory and phenomenological scaling theory, and predicts precisely the latent heat of vaporization for complicated coal-liquid model compounds and other hydrocarbons from the freezing point to the critical point using only two estimated quantities, the critical temperature and the acentric factor. One of the merits of the model is that it covers the entire range of vapor-liquid coexistence, including the critical region. I
