An equation of state expresses the characteristic relationship between state variables for a particular thermodynamic system. Knowledge of the equations of state for a given system can be used to derive all its thermodynamic properties. Despite their central role in thermodynamics, the topic of equations of state is poorly addressed in traditional physical chemistry textbooks, and in most cases...

the simplified perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (spc-saft) equation of state (eos) was proposed to describe the thermodynamic properties of pure ionic liquids (ils). a set of spc-saft parameters for 2 ils was obtained by fitting the experimental liquid densities data over a wide range of temperature at atmospheric pressure. good agreement with experimental density data was o...

in this work, we consider each normal alkane as a hypothetical mixtureof methyland methylene groups, in which the interaction potential of each pair is assumed to be the average effective pair potential. then, the lir equation of state (eos) is extended for such a hypothetical mixture. also, three basic compounds, namely, propane, n-butane and cyclohexane, are used to obtain the contribution of...

The thermodynamic properties of fluids can be predicted using the global equations of state. Among these thermodynamic properties of fluids, we choose the densities of the liquid and vapor phases. This paper considers the application of the crossover model to the vapor-liquid rectilinear diameter of ethane. We also present a comparison of the crossover model equation with the experimental data....

One loop field theory calculations of free energies quite often yield violations of the stability conditions usually associated with the thermodynamic second law. Perhaps the best known example involves the equation of state of black holes. Here, it is pointed out that the Casimir force between two parallel conducting plates also violates a thermodynamic stability condition normally associated ...

solubility of high molecular weight n-paraffins in supercritical carbon dioxide has been a matter of interest to many researchers. however, not sufficient solubility experimental data are available although the methods by which the experimental data are obtained have many varieties. utilizing cubic equations of state is an effective method for solubility prediction of n-paraffins in supercritic...

Hard-sphere molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results, with six-figure accuracy in the thermodynamic equilibrium pressure, are reported and used to test a closed-virial equation-of-state. This latest equation, with no adjustable parameters except known virial coefficients, is comparable in accuracy both to Padé approximants, and to numerical parameterizations of MD data. There is no evidence o...

A general and simple equation of state (EOS) is a rich source for research discussion. Experience shows that high-density matter exhibits regularities some “universal” EOSs have been established. Here, we present an ideal dense EOS symmetric to the gas by means Oettingen's dual approach. The makes no assumptions about structure is, therefore, general. Thermodynamic symmetry requires has better ...
