Despite the importance of mixtures containing steam as a component there is a shortage of thermodynamic data for such systems. At low densities the solubility of water in compressed gases has been used (1,2) to obtain cross term second virial coefficients Β . At high densities the phase boundaries of several water + hydrocarbon systems have been determined (3,4). Data which would be of greatest value, pVT measurements, do not exist. Adsorption on the walls of a pVT apparatus causes such large errors that it has been a difficult task to determine the equation of state of pure steam, particularly at low densities. Flow calorimetric measurements, which are free from adsorption errors, offer an alternative route to thermodynamic information. Flow calorimetric measurements of the isothermal enthalpy­ -pressure coefficient φ (5) extrapolated to zero pressure yield the quantity φ = Β - TdB/dT where Β is the second virial coefficient. From values of φ it is possible to obtain values of Β without recourse to pVT measurements. 12

Lambert (11) developed a s i m i l a r approach f o r low d e n s i t y gases, and regarded the observed second v i r i a l c o e f f i c i e n t as the sum of a " p h y s i c a l term" which he obtained from the B e r t h e l o t equation of s t a t e and which i m p l i e s that the molecules have f i n i t e s i z e and a t t r a c t i v e f o r c e s , and a "chemical" term c h a r a c t e r i s e d by a d i m e r i s a t i o n constant K^.

Our present concern i s t o f i n d a model f o r steam which can be used to c a l c u l a t e mixture p r o p e r t i e s . An estimate of B°, the second v i r i a l c o e f f i c i e n t which steam might have i n the absence of a s s o c i a t i o n , could be obtained by s e l e c t i n g a molecule which has about the same d i s p e r s i o n f o r c e as steam, such as argon, t a k i n g the Lennard-Jones 12-6 parameters which f i t Β f o r argon together w i t h the d i p o l e moment of steam 1.85 D, and u s i n g the Stockmayer p o t e n t i a l to c a l c u l a t e values of B°.

Flow calorimetric measurements of the excess enthalpy of a steam + n-heptane mixture over the temperature range 373 to 698 Κ and at pressures up to 12.3 MPa are reported. The low pressure measurements are analysed in terms of the virial equation of state using an association model. An extension of this approach, the Separated Associated Fluid Interaction Model, fits the measure­ ments at high pressures reasonably well. Literature Cited
