ABSTRACT Suzuki, K., Sue, H., Smith, R.L., Inomata, H., Arai, K. and Saito, S., 1989. New equation of state based on the significant structure model. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 47: 17-38. A new non-cubic equation of state based on molecular thermodynamics has been developed by considering cell theory and forming the potential energy of a system from the volumetric average of the van der Waals type and the 15-6 Mie type potential energies. The proposed equation has four constants and requires knowledge of the critical temperature, the critical pressure, the critical volume, the excluded volume and an additional parameter to characterize any given fluid. The new equation yields good agreement with experimental saturation properties of 29 non-polar and 16 polar substances from reduced temperatures of 0.5 to the critical temperature. The new equation exactly fits the critical point, generally gives better predictions of liquid volumes than, and predictions of vapor pressures and heats of vaporization equally as good as commonly used cubic equations, and yet only requires two fitting parameters.
INTRODUCTION
Since the time of van der Waals, two general approaches have been taken to the development of equations of state in terms of molecular interactions. The first approach begins from the gas state. The van der Waals type of equation of state adds corrections to the ideal gas equation of state and makes it possible to predict a condensed phase. While this type of equation can predict volumetric properties in the gas region well, the prediction of volumetric properties in the liquid region is only qualitative. Various researchers have improved the van der Waals type equation by empirically modifying the form of the attractive term and its temperature dependence or by adding other parameters (Soave, 1972; Pate1 and Teja, 1982). 0378-3812/89/$03.50

The second approach begins from the liquid state and predicts liquid properties using the basic properties of the pure substance such as the hard-sphere diameter and the potential energy to predict the liquid properties. These models include the cell model, the hole model and the significant liquid structure model (Eyring et al., 1958). In the present work, a new equation of state is developed from a consideration of the van der Waals equation and the cell model, and on the assumption that the potential energy of a system can be represented by the volumetric average of the van der Waals type and the 15-6 Mie type potential energies. FORMULATION
OF THE EQUATION
OF STATE
We consider the system to be described by V, T, NA, (J and assume the following. (i) The system is a group of independent cells. Each cell has a volume V-, = V/N, and no interactions exist among the cells. (ii) The free vo1ume V, is defined as the cell volume VI minus the excluded volume b/N,. (iii) The potential energy of a system is the volumetric average of the van der Waals type and the 15-6 Mie-type potential energies. On these assumptions, we derive the equation of state by the following procedures. (i) Free volume V, The free volume per particle is Q=(V-b)/N,
0)
(ii) System potential energy It is difficult to describe the potential energy of real systems over a wide
range of densities. For the dilute region, the van der Waals type potential energy can predict P- V-T properties. However, the Mie type potential is useful in the dense region, because it contains a repulsive term and is mathematically simple. To describe a liquid property X, Eyring proposed the volumetric average method based on his significant liquid structure model. That is
x=xs$+xg il-+

(2)
where X,, Xa are the values of the property in the solid and the gas states, respectively. Applying his definition to the partition function based on the 12-6 Lennard-Jones potential for the liquid state and on the ideal gas condition for the gas state, Eyring was able to derive his equation of state.

We modify his concepts and describe the potential energy of a system as the volumetric average of the van der Waals type and the Mie type potential energies. The van der Waals type potential energy is @P(V) VDW

using the optimum constant a at each temperature, the predicted saturated vapor pressure can be made the same as the experimental vapor pressure. We calculated the saturated P- V-T curve of n-octane as shown in Fig. 1. The average absolute deviation of saturated liquid densities decreases from 15.7% with eqn. (11) to 1.7% with eqn. (14).

analytically from eqns. (15)-(17), if the value of b is known. For the constant a, the present work employs Heyen’s functional form (Heyen, 1980). a = a, exp[n(l
- T,‘)]
(18)
Although we determined parameter sets of 19and K for each substance at the first step, we found that 8 was approximately 0.035 for all substances and, therefore, redetermined only the constant b and parameter K under the condition B = 0.035. The parameter K is considered to be influenced by the saturated vapor pressure and the constant b by the saturated liquid volume. We determined the constant b by minimizing the average absolute deviation (AAD) in saturated liquid volumes and then used the optimum b to determine K by minimizing the deviation in saturated vapor pressures as shown in Fig. 2. The AAD is defined as AAD( X) = 100 5 i=l
where X denotes some property. When we optimized the constant b, we restricted the saturated reduced temperature range from 0.5 to 0.9, because experimental data above T, = 0.9 are scarce and the optimized b was for each case very sensitive to data above T, = 0.9. After we determined the optimum K, we checked AAD values in saturated liquid volumes again and found them not to change significantly.

= 0.31 8.821 + 41.13~ - 12.61~~
However, the generalized equations cannot be applied substances such as water, ammonia and the alcohols. generalized equations are listed in Tables 4 and 5. The 1.0% for saturated liquid volumes and 2.6% for saturated
(27) (28) to strongly polar AAD values with loss in accuracy is vapor pressures.
DISCUSSION
For polar fluids, there exist not only physical interactions but also chemical interactions, which is why a generalization of the new equation of state was not attempted in this work. However, we do outline the way in which the constants a and b differ for polar fluids. As the values of a and b are influenced by the evaluated saturated temperature range, we selected 26 fluids from Table 4 for which data exist from T, = 0.5 to 1.0. Those component numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11,12, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 44 and 45. Constant b Although we define the ratio b/V, to be 0.31 for non-polar fluids, b/K for polar fluids is about 0.30 for the normal alcohols as shown in Table 2.

Polar molecules are more easily condensed than normal fluids because of hydrogen bonding. Bondi (1964) calculated the van der Waals volume VW using his group contribution method and showed slight decrements in volume as a result of the strong association in polar fluids. Our hard-sphere volume V,, can be related to the van der Waals volume as shown in Fig. 8. This means that there is a possibility for the constant b to be generalized even for polar fluids. Constant a For non-polar fluids, the constant a is related to the parameter K by eqn. (18) and K is related to the acentric factors as shown in Fig. 9. However, ~~~~~~ is smaller than K,__,~~~ at the same acentric factor. Hence, we consider the reason for this from the standpoint of association. As the constant a is related to the interaction in the gas phase, we can consider the second virial coefficient B. Lambert (1953) thought some polar molecules became new chemical species through the chemical association forces and divided the second virial coefficient into non-polar and polar parts. That is
non-polar is the second virial coefficient, when all polar molecules are monomer. BpOlaris determined by the degree of the chemical bond. If there is weak dimerization, BpOlarshould be

non-polar fluid; 0,
So, the second virial coefficients of polar fluids become smaller than those of non-polar fluids. The second virial coefficient B of the new equation of state at the critical temperature is (31)
B, = b - a,/RT,
Therefore, in strongly polar fluids, a,/RT,V,, should be larger than in non-polar fluids. For the previously mentioned fluids, we plotted a,/RT,V,, against critical temperatures as shown in Fig. 10. For strongly polar fluids (water, ammonia and the alcohols), (a,/RTcVh),,, is larger than

at the same critical temperature. So, for polar fluids, the ( at/R VII 1non-polar constant a may be divided into two parts as a=a non-polar+ ~,,I,~
(32)
The proportion of apolar is no larger than 30% as can be seen in Fig. 10. We consider it is possible for the constant a to be generalized by some polar factors, for example, the dipole moment or the parachor (Quayle, 1953). CONCLUSION
A new equation of state is proposed based on molecular thermodynamics that is capable of accurate and consistent predictions of the saturated properties of non-polar and polar fluids. It requires only the critical constants, the excluded volume and one empirical constant. Since the critical point is reproduced exactly, prediction accuracy in this region is improved.
