H E thermodynamic properties of nitric oxide have not been determined in detail. Briner and coworkers (3)investigated the volumetric behavior a t pressures from 450 to 2200 pounds per square inch in the temperature interval between - 109' and 48" F. In addition, measurements were recently completed a t pressures up to 2500 pounds per square inch for temperatures between 40' and 220" F. (6). These data were in good agreement with determinations of the second virial coefficient made by Johnston and Weimer (7) a t temperatures between -243" and 70" F.

pressure and temperature for which the coefficients were eatablished. In the present instance coefficients of the equation of state were based upon volumetric measurements made by Briner (3) and those recently reported by Golding ( 5 ) . The data of Briner do not agree with the more recent measurements a t temperatures in the neighborhood of 40" F. For this reason the results from the former set of measurements a t temperatures above -40' F. have been omitted. The inclusion of Briner's data above -40" F. would markedly increase the standard deviation of the volumetric data from the equation of state, The elimination of Golding's low temperature data ( 6 ) and the substitution of Briner's values (3) would not yield so small a standard deviation, as the trends of the later data a t temperatures above -40" F. are not compatible with Golding's measurements. The experimental data which were used in evaluating the coefficients have been indicated in Figure 1 together with isotherms from the Benedict equation based upon the coefficients recorded in Table I. A value of the universal gas constant of 10.73147 (cu,feet/lb.mole) (lb./sq. inch)/" R. or 1.98588 (B.t.u./ib. mole)/ R. was employed in the calculations. A series of sets of coefficients, such as that shown in Table I, may be obtained for nitric oxide based upon the data of Figure 1 using different values of y. Values of y between 0 and 10 (cu. feet/lb. mole)2 yield roughly equal deviations from the experimental data (3, 6). This behavior is similar to that found for the lighter hydrocarbons (8). The value of y was taken as 0.5 (cu. feet/lb. mole)* because it gave near the minimum standard error of estimate for values of y between 0 and 10. The coefficients recorded in Table I describe the volumetric behavior of nitric oxide from temperatures of - 100" to 220" F. for pressures up to 3000 pounds per square inch with a standard error of estimate of 0.00458 in the compressibility factor. This measure of disagreement ascribes all the error to the pressure and assumes agreement with respect to volume and temperature. O
Figure 1. Experimental Compressibility Factor for Nitric Oxide
The heat capacity of nitric oxide was calculated by Witmer (11) from spectroscopic measurements of Jenkins, Barton, and Mulliken ( 6 ) . Spencer (IO) proposed an analytical expression for the heat capacity for temperatures above 77" F. His values appear to deviate from Witmer's calculations and for this reason were not used in the present study. The above-mentioned volumetric data served as the basis for the evaluation of the coefficients of the equation of state proposed by Benedict, Webb, and Rubin (1, 2), hereinafter referred to as the Benedict equation. Methods devised by Brough ( 4 )with the modifications suggested by Selleck (9) were employed. These methods involved the application of least squares techniques with automatic digital computing equipment to the estimation of the coefficients yielding the minimum standard error of estimate. Experience has indicated that the Benedict equation, when used with coefficients established by the methods of Brough ( 4 ) and Selleck (9), does not necessarily give a satisfactory description of the volumetric behavior of a pure substance beyond the ranges of

T h e fractional deviation of the predicted compressibility factor from that determined by experiment is shown in Figure 2. As would be expected from least aquares techniques, the deviations are almost uniformly distributed throughout the field. These coefficients do not describe adequately the behavior of nitric oxide in the heterogeneous or critical regions. At temperatures of 100" and 200' R. marked disagreement from the estimated behavior of this compound results from the use of the coefficients listed in Table I. For convenience the coefficients are expressed on a molal and a specific basis. The expressions for enthalpy, entropy, and fugacity were combined with the relationships for pressure and the isochoric pressure-temperature derivative shown in the first part of Table I1 in order t o obtain the desired expressions for these thermodynamic properties. The iterative solution of these equations was carried out for 29 even values of pressure below 3000 pounds per square inch
a t each of 11 temperatures between -80" and 220' F. The resulting values of volume, enthalpy, entropy, and fugacity which were obtained are recorded in Table 111. The values of enthalpy and entropy have been carried to one more significant figure than is justified by the accuracy of the data, so that the differences between these quantities for adjacent states might be established with reasonable precision. The heat capacity a t infinite attenuation which is shown in Figure 3 was based on the calculations of Witmer (22). ' I n addition, the values of the heat capacity a t higher pressures have been included. The latter data were established by differentiation of the enthalpy function shown in Table I1 a t constant pressure. Figure 4 is an enthalpy-pressure diagram for nitric oxide.

INDUSTRIAL AND ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY
Temperature and entropy have been included as parameters. A temperature-entropy diagram is shown in Figure 5 with volume, enthalpy, and pressure as parameters. These two diagrams permit most of the thermodynamic processes of industrial interest to be followed with reasonable accuracy. Figure 6 depicts the compressibility factor as a function of pressure with temperature and entropy as parameters. This diagram, when used with the following expression, allows more accurate estimation of specific volume than is possible from Figures 4 and 5.

However, it is not possible to follow isochoric processes directly upon Figure 6. The data of Table 111 and Figures 4,5, and 6 were based on a reference state of zero for the enthalpy and entropy a t a temperature of absolute zero and a pressure of 1 atmosphere for the ideal gas state. This basis corresponds to the convention adopted by Rossini (8)and affords a convenient reference for the enthalpy and entropy. Any uncertainties in the changes in enthalpy and entropy between absolute zero and the lowest temperature in the tables do not introduce errors in the use of the tabular information, since the reference states may be chosen arbitrarily. I t is believed that the values of pressure, volume, enthalpy, entropy, and fugacity are self-consistent with a standard deviation of not more than 0.1 %. However, values of the enthalpy, entropy, and specific volume as a function of state may involve a standard deviation as large as 0.6% as a result of uncertainties in the experimental values of the heat capacity and specific volume,

TABLE IV. EKTHALPY AND ENTROPY FOR NITRICOXIDEIN IDEAL GASSTATE
For the convenience of readers particularly interested in the properties of nitric oxide in the ideal gas state, values of the enthalpy and entropy of this compound a t a pressure of 1 atmosphere and in the ideal gas state are recorded in Table IV. As indicated earlier, these data are based upon the heat capacities calculated by Witmer (11). The self-consistency of the data was established by application of the following expression to a series of random polytropic paths:

Thermodynamic Correlation of
Vapor-Liquid Equilibria PREDICTION OF MULTICOMPONENT SYSTEMS BERNARD S. EDWARDS’, FRANK HASHMALL2, ROGER GILMONT3, AND DONALD F. OTHMER The Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, Brooklyn, N . Y .
A
NEW method of predicting the equilibrium conditions of
multicomponent systems from binary data has been developed. Parameters determined from relative volatility data of the binaries are extended by thermodynamic principles to cover multicomponent systems. The equations for determining the parameters are generalized for use under constant-pressure as well as constanttemperature conditions. -4 correlation which would permit the prediction of vaporliquid equilibria of multicomponent systems from experimental binary data would be a valuable aid in the chemical field. A method based on thermodynamic, rather than empirical, considerations, which is applicable to both constant-pressure and constanbtemperature systems, and which would require relatively simple mathematical manipulation would be the most ideal correlation. Considerable work has been done in this field by both the thermodynamic and the empirical approach. For the most part, the work in binary (1, 8, 11, 18, 16, 19) and ternary systems (8,9,18, II,22) was primarily correlation methods which expressed data in the form of equations. The prime purposes of these equations are twofold: to determine internal inconsistency, and, where necessary, to smooth existing data. These correlations may also be considered prediction correlations only in so far as they permit interpolations betxeen experimental points, or neglect multicomponent effects. Gilmont et al. ( 4 ) have correlated binary mixtures by plotting the relative volatilities and obtaining a series of parameters which determine an analytical expression for the activity coefficient. The purpose of this paper is to develop a set of equations which may extend these parameters to predict multicomponent systems without recourse to multicomponent data.
