A simple, analytic expansion about the critical point appears capable of adequate representation for the compression factor in the single phase region near the critical point. The equation requires TC, PC, VC, and ω to predict the compression factor, and we have used it to represent the behavior of argon, carbon dioxide, ethene, methane, and nitrogen. The scaling hypothesis would indicate that this expansion is invalid; however, the best available data seem to be susceptible of such treatment. The equation can also represent phase behavior in the critical region by utilizing it with the Maxwell criterion. Introduction

and

The behavior of pure fluids in the region of their critical points has received considerable attention recently ranging from the classical description discussed by Landau and Lifshitz (1959) to the development of the scaling hypothesis as evidenced by the works of Griffiths (1965), Fisher (1967), and Levelt Sengers (1970). Confirmation of these latter methods requires high quality experimental data. In this work, we present a functional representation of the compression factor valid near the critical point in the single phase region. The function resembles the classical description of Landau and Lifshitz (1959), but it is explicit in the compression factor. We have tested the equation using the exceptional data collected at Ruhr Universita¨t Bochum in the Institut fu¨r Fluid und Thermodynamik. The Bochum group also modeled their data using accurate equations of state as reported by Setzmann and Wagner (1991), Span and Wagner (1996), Tegeler et al. (1997), and Span et al. (1998). Our equation cannot represent the data with the same accuracy as these accurate equations; however, our equation is much simpler, represents all compounds with the same form, and confirms the observations of Wagner and his co-workers that analytical equations are adequate in the critical region of pure fluids. Development The critical point imposes conditions that are useful for development of equations of state. These conditions in mathematical form are:

where Z ()P/FRT) is the compression factor and R is the gas constant, because such representations require fewer terms than forms explicit in P and T. The first and second derivatives of P with respect to F expressed in terms of Z and its derivatives are:

On the P-T plane, the slope of the critical isochore equals the slope of the vapor pressure curve at the critical point of a pure component.

Thus eq 23 can predict data for the critical region given the critical properties, acentric factor, and eqs 16 and 24. Figure 1 illustrates the region in which eq 24 can predict Z within 0.1% using eqs 16 and 24. Results To test the applicability of this method, we have applied eq 23 as well as the corresponding equations including through 4th and 6th derivatives to predict the compression factor of argon, carbon dioxide, ethene, methane, and nitrogen. A comparison between eq 23 and experimental data validates eq 23. Data sources are Gilgen et al. (1994), Duschek et al. (1990), Nowak et al. (1996), Kleinrahm et al. (1987), and Wagner (1997) for argon, carbon dioxide, ethene, methane, and nitrogen, respectively. Table 1 contains the properties of the substances used in this work. Tables 2-6 contain the values (and standard deviations) of the cross derivatives obtained from fits of the data using Taylor’s expansions through the 2nd, 4th, and 6th derivatives. In each case, the range of data has been restricted such that the deviations are random and within the experimental error estimates. For these data sets, we have estimated the standard deviation to be ∼0.02% for the compression factors. We arrived at this figure by accepting the estimates of the experimenters for the densities of 0.01-

Then, using propagation of errors, the 1σ uncertainty in Z would be ∼0.02%. Therefore, we have restricted the ranges of data such that the fits replicate about 60-70% of the data within 0.02% and all of the data within 0.06%.

reasonable to assume that, if they have essentially the same values for different fits (e.g., 2nd, 4th, and 6th derivative expressions), they represent acceptable approximations for the actual derivatives as noted by Hall and Canfield (1967). Figures 2-6 illustrate the 2nd, 4th, and 6th derivative fits for each of the substances. The only two-phase data of acceptable quality in this region come from a private communication by Wagner (1997); these data are preliminary and have not yet appeared in the reviewed literature, but they are more than good enough for our

Conclusions A simple Taylor's expansion in temperature and density appears capable of correlating compression factor data in the near critical region for pure substances. Depending on the number of derivatives included in the expansion, the reduced density range varies from ∼0.9-1.02 up to 0.55-1.3. The first nonzero derivative of pressure with respect to density appears to be the third. The expansion can describe both single-

and two-phase data. The equation has the same form for all substances and, given the critical properties and the acentric factor, can even do a reasonable job of predicting the compression factor in the near critical region.
