An Equation of State for Real Fluids Based on the Lennard-Jones Potential Tongfan Sun and Amyn S. Teja* Fluid Properties Research Institute, School of Chemical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0100 ReceiVed: July 10, 1996X

A new set of constants for the modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin (MBWR) equation based on the LennardJones (LJ) potential were obtained in the temperature range T* ) 0.45 to T* ) 6.0 by supplementing computer simulation data with data obtained by recalculating the first five virial coefficients of the LJ potential. These virial coefficients are presented in a detailed table that is suitable for the calculation of the internal energy and pressure of the LJ fluid in the vapor state. The MBWR equation was also extended to the alkanes by including a temperature-dependent energy parameter in the LJ potential. The resulting equation was found to be satisfactory for correlating experimental data for the liquid density and vapor pressure and in predicting the heat capacity of n-alkanes upto n-hexadecane. Only three parameters are required to characterize each n-alkane, and furthermore, the parameters show regular behavior with the number of carbon atoms in the n-alkane.

Introduction The calculation of the thermodynamic properties of fluids and fluid mixtures is important in a number of applications, including the design of separators and other process equipment. Such calculations also provide information on intermolecular interactions and their effect on the nonideal behavior of the system. The most common approach for calculation of thermodynamic properties is by use of cubic equations of state and/ or the corresponding state principle.1,2 Both these methods are simple but may require arbitrary constants to characterize each pure fluid. An alternative approach is by use of an equation of state based on an intermolecular potential. This type of equation may, for example, require only size and energy parameters for each fluid and, as a result, allow extrapolation of the equation to fluids from a knowledge of their structure. The Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid has been widely studied using both theoretical and computer simulation methods. The simulation results have been used to obtain a number of analytical equations of state for the LJ fluid,3-6 the most recent of which is the modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin (MBWR) equation with 33 parameters by Johnson et al.3 The large numbers of parameters allows sufficient flexibility to fit simulation data accurately over a wide range of conditions. The equation of state of Johnson et al. may be written as follows:

P* ) F*T* + F*2 (c1T* + c2T*1/2 + c3 + c4T*-1 + c5T*-2) + F*3(c6T* + c7 + c8T*-1 + c9T*-21) + F*4(c10T* + c11 + c12 T*-1) + F*5(c13) + F*6(c14T*-1 + c15T*-2) + F*7 (c16T*-1) + F*8(c17T*-1 + c18T*-2) + F*9(c19T*-2) + {F*3(c20T*-2 + c21T*-3) + F*5(c22T*-2 + c23T*-4) + F*7(c24T*-2 + c25T*-3) + F*9(c26T*-2 + c27T*-4) + F*11(c28T*-2 + c29T*-3) + F*13(c30T*-2 + c31T*-3 + c32T*-4)} exp(- γF*2) (1) where P* is the reduced pressure ()pσ3/), F* is the reduced density ()Nσ3/V), T* is the reduced temperature ()kT/), p is X

the pressure, N is Avogadro’s number, V is the molar volume, T is the temperature,  is the depth of the LJ potential well, σ is the separation distance at zero energy, and k is Boltzmann’s constant. In Johnson’s equation γ ) 3, so that there are 32 universal constants, c1-c32, which were obtained by fitting computer simulation data in the temperature range 0.7 < T* < 6 (corresponding to 0.55 < T/Tc < 4.5 where Tc is the LJ critical temperature). However, when applying this equation to real fluids, we have found that the equation diverges at reduced temperatures T/Tc < 0.65. This greatly limits its application, because the triple point temperatures of real fluids are generally much lower than T/Tc ) 0.65. (For example, T/Tc ) 0.38 for ethane.) Therefore, in order to work with real fluids, the equation must be extended to lower temperatures. The purpose of the present work was therefore to extend the MBWR equation of Johnson et al. to lower temperatures suitable for vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations involving real fluids. A second objective was to extend the equation to a series of real fluids such as the n-alkanes. Extension of Simulation Data for the LJ Fluid The literature on the LJ fluid lists approximately 1500 data points for pressure and 1000 data points for internal energy over a range of temperatures and densities.3 However, not all simulation data are consistent and suitable for the present work. Earlier simulations data, in particular, were obtained for small systems and for short times with a small Lennard-Jones cutoff distance. Therefore, in the present work, we chose the recent simulation data of Johnson et al. which cover the reduced temperature range from 0.7 to 6. We also combined Miyano’s Monte Carlo simulations6 in the low-temperature range from 0.45 to 0.65. At these temperatures, the LJ liquid is in a subcooled state, and the precision of the simulations is poor, as stated by the author. However, Miyano’s data are the only simulation data available in this temperature range. Special attention was paid to simulation data below the critical temperature and at pressures in the range p* ) 0.001-1 (corresponding to 0.3-300 bar for methane). This represents the most important region for practical applications in chemical engineering. However, simulation results for the vapor phase in this region are not very precise, and results for the liquid state are © 1996 American Chemical Society

The first five virial coefficients of the LJ fluid were used in their calculations, and the virial coefficients were obtained from a table reported by Barker et al.7,8 Since the temperature interval in Barker’s table is very large, interpolations of the temperature required in the determination of dBn*/dT* are not precise. Therefore, the evaluation of U* by Nicolas et al. was not accurate. Moreover, in the region T* < 0.6, which is important for vapor pressure calculations involving real fluids, virial coefficients were not available in Barker’s table. We therefore reevaluated the first five virial coefficients of a LJ fluid using the Mayer f function defined as

fij ) f(rij) ) exp[-u(rij)/kT] - 1

(4)

which leads to the reduced third virial coefficient B3* as follows:

B3* ) -1/3∫∫f01f12f02 dr1 dr2 ) -1/3(C3)

(5)

The integration is carried out over all positions of molecules 1 and 2 with molecule 0 fixed at the center of the coordinate system. Vector distances r1 and r2 start from molecule 0 and end at 1 and 2, respectively. In the (C3) term, the C stands for three molecules and the subscript 3 means there are three pairs of intermolecular interactions. Similarly, the fourth and fifth virial coefficients are given as

B4* ) (-1/8)[3(D4) + 6(D5) + (D6)]

(6)

B5* ) (-1/30)[12(E5) + 60(E6a) + 10(E6b) + 60(E7a) + 30(E7b) + 10(E7c) + 15(E8a) + 30(E8b) + 10(E9) + (E10)] (7) where the notation for the cluster integrals (in brackets) is adopted from Rowlinson9 and Barker et al.8 The integrals

can be classified into two groups. The first group is of the convolution type and is calculated accordingly. The second group includes integrals (D6), (E8a), (E9), and (E10) that are difficult to calculate directly due to the high order of multi-integration required. However, by expanding every Mayer f function of the integrand into Legendre polynomials and using the addition theorem and the orthogonal relation of spherical harmonics, multiintegrations can be simplified into 3-dimensional integrations. These integrations can then be easily treated with the Gauss-Legendre numerical integration method.. All cluster integrals were carefully evaluated and their values compared with the results reported by Barker at six selected temperatures (T* from 0.75 to 20.0). Excellent agreement was obtained to four significant digits for all cluster integrals except E10, where differences of 5-15% were found. The E10 integral is difficult to calculate because it requires the evaluation of 17 483 4-dimensional terms when the first 8 orders of Legendre polynomials are expanded for the integrand. A simplified treatment that differs from the simplified method used by Barker was employed in the present work and resulted in values for this integral that differed by 5-15% from those reported by Barker et al. On the other hand, results for B2*, B3*, and B4* agreed with those of Barker et al. to four significant digits and those for B5* agreed to three digits. Complete results are given in Table 1, which covers the reduced temperature range 0.4-6 with a minimum interval DT* ) 0.01. Nicolas et al.4 used a convergence criterion to examine the density range where the first five virial coefficients give satisfactory results. Convergence of the virial series was tested by comparing values of Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5, where Z ) P*/F* T* and Zn is the estimate of Z obtained by truncating eq 3 at the Bn* term. Convergence was regarded as satisfactory if |Z4 Z5| e 0.005. In addition to this criterion, a direct comparison of the virial series with computer simulation results was also made. Recently, Lotfi et al.10 have used an isothermal-isobaric ensemble simulation in conjunction with Widom’s particle insertion method and calculated vapor pressures of the LJ fluid in the temperature range T* ) 0.70-1.30. Since Lotfi’s simulation data provide a vapor pressure relation at high density for the vapor phase, they may be used to compare the reevaluated virial series at these densities. Such comparisons are shown in Table 2, which also shows excellent agreement for all data points except at the highest temperature. Uncertainties at high temperatures are due to uncertainties in the simulations10 at these temperatures. These calculations demonstrate that the virial expansion is valid for the whole range of vapor density. Above the critical temperature (T* g 1.3),

the virial expansion is applicable at much higher densities (F* ) 0.15 at T* ) 1.5, F* ) 0.20 at T* ) 2.0, and F* ) 0.25 at T* g 2.5). In addition to the virial coefficient data for the gas phase, Ross’s variational perturbation method11 was used to calculate the pressure and internal energy for the liquid state. Although the Ross method is accurate at densities between F* ) 0.7 and F* ) 0.9, only small corrections are necessary for the perturbation results to match the simulations at other densities. The bicubic spline interpolation algorithm was therefore used to apply these corrections. Altogether, 560 experimental data points covering 29 isotherms were included in the data fitting described below, with about half the data points being obtained in this work and the remaining from the work of Johnson et al. The new data of this work are presented in Table 3 Data Fitting As mentioned previously, the MBWR equation of state with 33 constants was used to fit the LJ fluid data. The nonlinear constant γ was set equal to 3 (Nicolas et al., Adachi et al., and Johnson et al.), and the remaining 32 constants were determined by a least-squares fit using an algorithm given by Hust and McCarty.12 The following objective function was minimized:

∑(B2*exp - B2*cal)2

(8)

A larger weight was used for U* because of the higher precision of the data for this property obtained by simulation. Data on P* (relative deviation) were included because this favors lowpressure data. The following constraints were imposed at the critical point: T* ) 1.313, F* ) 0.31, P* ) 0.1299, ∂P*/∂F* ) 0, and ∂2P*/∂F*2 ) 0. The critical point values were adopted from Johnson et al. The results for the 32 universal constants for the MBWR are given in Table 4. Results and Comparisons Four equations of state based on the LJ potential were selected for comparison with computer simulation results using the following criteria: (1) correlation of the internal energy and pressure; (2) prediction of vapor pressure; and (3) prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria of mixtures. The four equations are

the LJ equations of Johnson et al., of Nicolas et al., of Adachi et al., and of this work. The internal energy and pressure were compared over two temperature ranges: T* ) 0.7-6 (where all the four equations are applicable) and T* ) 0.45 -6 (where three of the four equations must be extrapolated). Results are given in Table 5 with the average absolute percentage deviation (AAD) and maximum absolute percentage deviation (MAD) between the experimental and calculated values. Table 5 shows that the new equation and the equation of Johnson provide the best fit for both U* and P*, whereas the equation of Nicolas et al. exhibits large errors at some pressures. The equation of state of Adachi et al. exhibits the largest errors in U*, probably because Adachi et al. fit their equation only to pVT data. For the temperature range T* ) 0.45-6, Table 5 shows that the new equation gives the best results for these two properties, whereas the equations of Johnson et al. and Adachi et al. give very large errors. In the case of vapor pressures, the molecular dynamics results of Lotfi et al.10 were chosen for comparison because they provide the vapor-liquid coexistence properties of the pure LJ fluid in the temperature range T* ) 0.70 to T* ) 1.30. The comparisons for the four equations are given in detail at each temperature in Table 6. The equation of Nicolas et al. shows systematic deviations between calculated and experimental values, whereas that of Adachi et al. exhibits large random errors. The new equation gives the best prediction of the vapor pressure curve, with an average error of 1.4%, which is within the uncertainty of the computer simulations. The MBWR equation was extended to mixtures using the van der Waals one-fluid theory for the LJ parameters. Thus

where xi is the mole fraction of component i in the mixture. For prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria, simulation results obtained by the Gibbs ensemble method13 were chosen for comparison with the phase equilibrium calculations from the four equations of state. The cross interaction terms in eqs 9 and 10 were obtained from the Lorenz-Berthelot rules without any adjustable parameters. Several calculations have been done with different pairs of LJ parameters, and typical results are given in Figure 1. The figure shows that the new equation gives good results, whereas the equation of Adachi et al. gives large errors. Extension to Real Fluids (n-Alkanes) As is well-known, the LJ potential is accurate only for simple fluids such as argon and neon and is a poor representation for fluids such as cyclohexane and n-decane. However, the LJ potential may be extended to such fluids if effective parameters, which incorporate nonspherical effects as well as the effect of many-body interactions, are employed. (See, for example, the work of Rowlinson,14 who used a spherical LJ potential to treat nonspherical molecules such as nitrogen, propylene, and carbon dioxide.) Following the work of Rowlinson, the LJ energy parameter  was made temperature dependent for real fluids, with the LJ diameter σ left unchanged. Thus

The n-alkanes, CH4 to C16H34, were chosen for study because

they form the simplest class of molecular fluids and because their properties change regularly with chain length. Moreover, thermodynamic properties of the n-alkanes have already been studied using methods such as cubic equations of state. Vapor pressures and liquid densities of the n-alkanes were obtained from the compilation of Daubert and Danner15 and were used to obtain the LJ parameters σ, 0, and 1 for each n-alkane. The parameters are given in Table 7 together with the AAD in the vapor pressure Pvap and AAD in liquid volume VL. The fit for the smaller n-alkanes were found to be better than those for the larger molecules. The fact that the energy parameter becomes more temperature dependent (1 become larger) as carbon number increases represents a significant nonspherical effect for large n-alkane molecules. It should also be mentioned that some scatter is observed for C14H30, probably due to uncertainty in the experimental data. The parameters are plotted as functions of the carbon number in Figures 2-4 and show regular behavior with carbon number. To test the predictive capability of the equation of state, the heat capacity at constant pressure Cp was calculated. Such calculations involve second-order derivatives of the equation of state and represent a severe test of its ability to predict thermodynamic properties. Experimental Cp data for the n-alkanes were obtained from the compilation of Daubert and

Furthermore, the three parameters show regular behavior with the number of carbon atoms in the alkane and thus show promise for extrapolation to alkanes for which no data are available.

Comparisons in the temperature range T/Tc from 0.45 to 0.95 are presented in Table 8. Also tabulated are comparisons using the Patel-Teja cubic equation of state2 (P-T EOS). For C1 to C8 n-alkanes, the MBWR EOS predicts better results than the P-T EOS, with an average deviation of 2.47% vs 6.34% for the P-T EOS. Summary New constants of the MBWR equation of state are presented, based on computer simulation data for the LJ fluid, supplemented with data obtained from the virial expansion and the Ross perturbation method. Comparison of the new EOS with existing equations shows that the new EOS is able to correlate computer simulation data over a wide temperature range from T* ) 0.45 to T* ) 6. An extension of the new EOS to real fluids has been tested and found to be satisfactory for n-alkanes up to C16H34. The equation requires a knowledge of only three
