Correlations An Expression for Ratio of Critical Temperature to Critical Pressure with the Heat Capacity for Low to Medium Molecular Weight Compounds Mohammad Hasan Khademi, Ali Zeinolabedini Hezave, Abdolhossein Jahanmiri,* and Jamshid Fathikaljahi Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department, School of Engineering, Shiraz University, Shiraz 71345, Iran

In this paper, a new correlation for prediction of the ratio of critical temperature to critical pressure has been developed in terms of heat capacity at 298.15 K, which is readily available for many compounds. The correlation has been applied for more than 100 low to medium size compounds. The results of these estimations validate the generalization of this correlation. The comparison between predicted and available experimental data shows an absolute relative error of 4.69 %. The results show that the accuracy of the proposed correlation is similar to the methods of Constantinou and Gani,7 Ambrose,2,3 and Joback5 for various types of compounds.

In the application of thermodynamic equations of state, one must have knowledge of critical temperature and critical pressure. The critical constants are key parameters in the prediction of thermodynamic and transfer properties via the principle of the corresponding state. They are also of importance in equation of state calculations and in the design of processes for supercritical fluid extraction. They are often used in composition-dependent mixing rules for the parameters to describe mixtures. Critical temperature and pressure are widely used in estimation of pure component constants. Many of the estimation methods are based on the group contribution concept and require knowledge of the boiling point and structure of the substance. Examples of such methods include those of Lydersen,1 Ambrose,2,3 Fedors,4 Joback,5 Somayajulu,6 and Constantinou and Gani.7 One of the first successful group contribution methods to estimate critical properties was developed by Lydersen.1 Joback5 suggested a modification of Lydersen’s1 method. This method depends on the group contribution method. Joback5 reevaluated Lydersen’s1 scheme, added several functional groups, and determined the new values of the group contributions. His proposed relations are

where TC and PC are, respectively, in Kelvin and bar. In employment of correlations, the normal boiling point TB (at 1 atm) and molecular weight M are needed. The Joback5 and Ambrose2,3 methods perform well for low-to-medium molecular weight compounds. Their validity for high molecular weight and/or structurally complex compounds is not yet clear.8 The estimation of the critical properties with the methods of Lydersen,1 Ambrose2,3 (see Reid et al.9), and Joback and Reid10 (and others, e.g., Klincewicz and Reid;11 Somayajulu6) requires accurate values for the normal boiling point, which is usually not available for high molecular weight compounds. The recent group contribution method by Constantinou and Gani7 is more general in the sense that the critical temperature (and pressure) is estimated only from the structure of the compound. Constantinou and Gani7 developed an advanced group contribution method based on the UNIFAC groups. It is more accurate than the methods of Klincewicz and Reid11 and Lydersen.1 They suggested the following correlations

The units employed for TC and PC are, respectively, Kelvin and bar. nA is the number of atoms in the molecule. The ∆ quantities are evaluated by summing contributions for various atoms or groups of atoms. Ambrose2,3 suggested another estimated method including a group contribution technique using the following correlations * Corresponding author. Tel.: +98 711 2303071. Fax: +98 711 6287294.

where TC and PC are, respectively, in Kelvin and bar. In these equations, Ni and Mj are number of occurrences of the type-i first-order group and the type-j second-order group in a compound, respectively. tc1i, tc2j and pc1i, pc2j are contributions of the type-i and type-j for estimation of the critical temperature and critical pressure, respectively. In the group contribution method proposed by Constantinou and Gani7sexcept from the classical UNIFAC main and subgroups which are called firstorder groupsssecond-order groups have been incorporated for the differences of the physical properties among the isomers to be captured. Unlike the methods proposed by Joback and Reid10 and Ambrose2,3 (see Reid et al.9), Constantinou and Gani7 gave some emphasis on the proper extrapolation of the critical

properties at high molecular weight; thus, their method may be more useful for high molecular weight compounds (see in Table 1). This point is not confirmed yet by literature evidence based on thorough evaluation/comparison of the above estimation methods for heavy/complex compounds.8 Elhassan et al.13 developed a correlation for n-alkanes which is based on the fact that the quantities of TC/PC are proportional to the molecular weight for each homologous series. The proposed relation is

ln(TC ⁄ PC) ) -3.70171 + 1.38315 ln(M + 25.3538) (7) Kontogeorgis et al.8 suggested that the ratio TC:PC can be expressed in terms of the van der Waals surface area that is estimated using the group increments given by Bondi14 and are readily available in all UNIFAC tables (e.g., Fredeslund et al.15) for any compounds. The method is suitable for medium to high molecular weight compounds. The proposed relation is

(8)

where TC is in K; PC is in bar; and Qw is the van der Waals surface area. Due to deficiencies and problems of available group contribution estimation methods for the critical properties, we suggest a correlation that tackles the problem of estimating the critical properties in a different and simpler way. We observed that, unlike the critical properties alone, the ratio TC:PC follows a regular trend with the ratio of heat capacity at 298.15 K to the universal gas constant for low-to-medium molecular weight compounds. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. The correlation of TC:PC with the heat capacity of real gas at 298.15 K is presented, and an application of proposed correlation and comparison with other methods is given. We end with discussion of our results and the conclusions.

New Correlation According to the above correlations, the critical temperature and pressure are dependent on the molecular structure of components. To propose a more general and simple correlation, a term that corresponds to the molecular structure can be used. The heat capacity could be related to the structure of the compounds.16-21 Joback5 suggested a group contribution method for the polynomial coefficient of heat capacity of ideal gases as follows

where nj is the number of groups of the jth type and the ∆ contributions are for the jth atomic or molecules group. The temperature T is in Kelvin, and CP is in J · mol-1 · K-1. Yoneda9 modified a group contribution technique for ideal heat capacity that was originally proposed by Anderson et al.9,16 In this method, one begins with a base molecule and sequentially

where T is in Kelvin; CP is in J · mol-1 · K-1; and A, B1, B2, C1, C2, n1, and n2 are constants for all hydrocarbon groups. This equation is a modified form suggested earlier by Yuan and Mok.19 It is sometimes inconvenient to use because it can not be integrated analytically, and numerical techniques must be employed. For the estimation of ideal gas heat capacity, an accurate group contribution method was developed by Benson20,21 and his colleagues. Contributions are given only for atoms with valences greater than unity. For each group, the key atom is given but followed by a notation specifying other atoms bonded to the key atom. The heat capacity is obtained by summing the necessary group contributions at the system temperature. Using the aforementioned subjects, the heat capacity (CP) is dependent on the molecular structure of each compound. Also, since the TC:PC ratio is dependent on the molecular structure, one can relate the TC:PC ratio to the heat capacity. An appropriate correlation for the ratio of the critical temperature to the critical pressure can be introduced in the form of

TC ⁄ PC ) εCP ⁄ R

(12)

In this correlation, TC is the critical temperature in Kelvin; PC is the critical pressure in atm; R is the universal gas constant; CP is the heat capacity of real gases at 298.15 K; and ε is the equation coefficient in K · atm-1. Note that the ratio of the heat capacity to the universal gas constant is dimensionless. In this study, to obtain the equation coefficient (ε), an extensive database of critical temperature and pressure data together with heat capacities of real gases for low-to-medium molecular weight compounds is used.22,23 Table 2 represents the variety of number of compounds used in this study. Values of RTC/PCCP have been determined for the data training set which consist of 178 compounds (see Table 3). The data training set includes hydrocarbons (i.e., alkane, alkene, alkyne, and cyclo compounds), halogenated hydrocarbons, oxygenated hydrocarbons (i.e., ether, ketone, ester, alcohol, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid), nitrogenated hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon sulfide, mercaptanes, and inorganic compounds.

the values of RTC/PCCP for all of the compounds used are nearly close to one. The mean absolute relative error between values of RTC/PCCP and one is less than 5.89 %. Therefore, the equation coefficient (ε) in eq 12 is considered equal to one.

Results and Discussion Figure 1 shows the value of RTC/PCCP for 178 compounds. It can be seen that the proposed correlation works well for the light and medium organic compounds, but there are considerable errors for some organic and inorganic compounds. Although high molecular weight compounds have a high error, this error is not necessarily for high molecular weight compounds. The value of RTC/PCCP for some of the light compounds deviates from unity similar to the high molecular weight compounds. It

can be described that the characterizations and properties of the compounds are extremely dependent on the structure of the compounds. For example, the compounds which have double or triple bonds will deviate more from unity because these bonds affect the properties of compounds. In addition, some of the groups such as O, N, and Cl will influence the electronegativity of compounds and so change the compounds’ properties. Therefore, not only deviation from unity for some compounds is dependent on the molecular weight but also it is affected by the molecular structure. Consequently, to improve the accuracy of the previous correlation (eq 12), a cubic polynomial function is considered as follows

By optimizing the relative error between experimental data and predicted values, it is found that the optimal constants of this equation are: a ) 0.0006314, b ) -0.03017, c ) 1.384, d ) -1.038. The linear regression, R-value, and RMSE between the desired and the predicted values from the correlation (13) are 0.9818 and 0.9852, respectively. The predicted values for TC/ PC given by this new correlation, together with the values for various group contribution methods and relative errors (RE) for 178 components, are given in Table 3. Figure 2 shows the closeness of the correlation between the predicted results from eq 13 and the experimental training data set. A perfect fit (experimental equal to predicted data) is indicated by the solid line. The close proximity of the best linear fit to the perfect fit, as observed in Figure 2, shows a good correlation among predictions and experimental data. Also, the performance of the proposed correlation was tested using another set of 49 experimental data (Table 5) that were not previously used for training of the correlation. Table 4 provides information on the type and number of different compounds that comprised the test data set used in this study. The results indicate that the mean relative error (MRE) of the proposed correlation is less than 3.33 % for the test data set. Figure 3 indicates there is good correlation between predicted and experimental test data of the TC:PC ratio. In this figure, the correlation outputs are plotted versus the experimental data as stars. A perfect fit (experimental equal to predicted data) is indicated by the solid line. The slope and the y-intercept of the best linear regression relating experimental to predicted data

are, respectively, 0.9661 and 0.4614 which nearly overlaps the perfect linear fit. The correlation coefficient (R-value) between the predictions and the experimental test data is 0.9896. This shows a very good correlation among the training and test data. The results obtained using the proposed simple new correlation (eq 13) were compared with the experimental TC:PC test data and the values predicted using the methods of Joback,5 Ambrose,2,3 Constantinou and Gani,7 and also Kontogeorgis8 in Table 5. Also, in this table, results for the 49 compounds including the values of RTC/PCCP and relative errors (RE) are shown. The mean relative error between values of RTC/PCCP and one is less than 4.24 %. Also, the mean relative errors (MRE) between all the predictive methods and experimental data for this data set are: proposed correlation 3.33 %; Ambrose2,3 method 4.15 %; Constantinou and Gani7 method 4.78 %; Joback5 method 4.99 %; and Kontogeorgis8 method 16.37 %. The results show a good agreement between the proposed correlation and the experimental data. Also, the MRE of the proposed correlation is less than the previous methods for the test data set. One of the advantages of the proposed correlation is in its ability to predict the TC:PC ratio for organic and inorganic compounds. It should be noted (as can be seen at the end of Table 3) that the proposed correlation is the only applicable method to predict the TC:PC ratio for inorganic compounds. The other methods are unable to predict the TC:PC ratio for inorganic compounds since there are not enough group contributions for these compounds. This limitation could be considered as a weakness for the other methods. According to Table 3, one of the disadvantages of the Constantinou and Gani7 and Kontogeorgis8 methods appears when these are used to evaluate the TC:PC ratio for isomers of compounds such as octane. Critical temperature and pressure estimation by these methods is independent of any properties of the compounds such as boiling point temperature, molecular weight, or atom numbers in the molecule, so the estimation of TC and PC is only dependent on group contributions. Since isomers of one compound have the same group contributions, then the methods developed based on group contribution are not able to accurately predict values for TC and PC. Tables 3 and 5 show the Kontogeorgis8 method strongly depends on the molecular weight of the compounds. The evaluated TC:PC ratio by the Kontogeorgis8 method would be more accurate for high molecular weight compounds. So, it could be better to use this method only for medium-to-high molecular weight compounds. Although these methods have some disadvantages, it should mentioned that the Constantinou and Gani7 method requires no compound properties to be measured but only the structural formula of a compound. This shows the generality of this method. A major benefit of using the Ambrose,2,3 Constantinou and Gani,7 and Joback5 methods is the ability of these methods to predict both critical temperature and critical pressure while the proposed correlation can be used to estimate one of the two critical properties whenever only the other one is available. It is considerable that these methods are relatively complex because they need to be familiar with the molecular structure which in some cases is really time consuming, but the proposed correlation is simple and just needs the heat capacity to predict the TC:PC ratio. In addition, the calculation of critical temperature and pressure by these methods may be impossible because the group contributions of some compounds such as methane, ethylene, and acetylene are not available.

Figure 4 shows the mean relative errors corresponding to the proposed correlation and Joback,5 Constantinou and Gani,7 Ambrose,2,3 and Kontogeorgis8 methods for hydrocarbons, oxygenated hydrocarbons, nitrogenated hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon sulfide and mercaptanes, and halogenated hydrocarbons. This figure illustrates that the Kontogeorgis8 method is the least accurate method in prediction of the TC:PC ratio for various types of compounds used with errors of 11.79 % for hydrocarbons, 13.30 % for oxygenated hydrocarbons, 24.51 % for nitrogenated hydrocarbons, 24.52 % for hydrocarbon sulfide and mercaptanes, and 29.04 % for halogenated hydrocarbons. According to Figure 4a, b, and c, almost all methods except the Kontogeorgis8 method result in similar errors when they are used for

hydrocarbons, oxygenated and nitrogenated hydrocarbons. Furthermore, it should be noted that the proposed correlation requires just one basic property (i.e., heat capacity), whereas in the Joback5 method, normal boiling point and number of atoms in the molecule, and in the Ambrose2,3 method, molecular weight and normal boiling point, in addition to group contributions are also required. Figure 4d presents that the proposed correlation is the best accurate method in prediction of the TC:PC ratio for hydrocarbon sulfide and mercaptanes with an error of 2.46 %, while the Ambrose2,3 method has an error of 5.91 %, Joback5 method 5.15 %, and Constantinou and Gani7 method 5.71 %. As can be seen in Figure 4e, it seems that the Constantinou and Gani7 and

Ambrose2,3 methods are the best for halogenated hydrocarbons with errors of 3.80 % and 4.19 %, respectively. The proposed correlation is the next most accurate approach with an error of 5.48 %. Figure 5 shows the overall performance of proposed correlation and various methods in prediction of the TC:PC ratio for all types of compounds. The correlation of Ambrose2,3 yields the best result, with a typical error less than 3.99 %. The overall performance of the Joback5 method is rather good with an error of around 4.45 %. The proposed correlation is equally good with respect to Constantinou and Gani,7 with an error of 4.69 %, but the proposed correlation is more general. The Kontogeorgis8 method is the least accurate method with an error less than 14.50 %. It seems that the accuracy of the proposed correlation is similar to the methods of Constantinou and Gani,7 Ambrose,2,3 and Joback,5 for various types of compounds. However, the important point is that the proposed correlation is simple and general to predict critical temperature to critical pressure ratio for low to medium molecular weight compounds.

Conclusions It was shown in this study that, unlike the critical properties alone, a simple correlation of the TC:PC ratio with the heat capacity at 298.15 K can be developed for low to medium molecular weight compounds. The proposed correlation can be used to estimate one of the two critical properties whenever only the other one is available. It is important to note that the proposed correlation just requires one basic property (i.e., heat capacity), whereas the other methods need two basic properties in addition to group contributions. The proposed correlation is simple and general to predict critical temperature to critical pressure ratio for low to medium molecular weight compounds. This proposed correlation is applicable to predict the TC:PC ratio for organic and inorganic compounds, while the other methods just predict this ratio for organic compounds. Appendix Nomenclature
