Simple Additives Make Polar Fluids More Polar

An Improved ISM Equation of State for Polar Fluids

We developed an equation of state (EOS) by Ihm, Song, and Mason (ISM) for polar fluids. The model consists of four parameters, namely, the second virial coefficient, an effective van der Waals co-volume, a scaling factor, and the reduced dipole moment. The second virial coefficient is calculated from a correlation that uses the heat of vaporization, and the liquid density at the normal boiling ...

Are polar liquids less simple?

Strong correlation between equilibrium fluctuations under isochoric conditions of the potential energy, U, and the virial, W, is a characteristic of liquids that implies the presence of certain dynamic properties, such as density scaling of the relaxation times and isochronal superpositioning of the relaxation function. In this work we employ molecular dynamics simulations on methanol and two v...

Universal equation of state for engineering application: algorithm and application to non-polar and polar fluids

Engineering equations of state (EOS) deal with the majority of fluids of interest in process and equipment design in the chemical industries. Accuracy and universality are two desirable features the engineering EOS require, however, both of them cannot be simultaneously obtained without some degree of compromise. Therefore a simultaneous optimization algorithm is proposed to develop an accurate...

Corresponding-States Analysis of the Surface Tension of Simple, Polar, and Ionic Fluids

The liquid-vapor interfacial tension of various simple, polar, and ionic fluids is studied in a corresponding-states analysis originally suggested by Guggenheim [1]. The results for real fluids are compared to the corresponding ones for model fluids of each of the three types. For simple and weakly polar fluids, the data is mapped onto a master curve, as already demonstrated by Guggenheim. For ...
