Abstract This work assesses the ability of the Mattedi-Tavares-Castier (MTC) equation of state (EOS) in representing the liquid phase density, sound speed, and vapor pressure of linear alkanes (C6-C20). It is found that its deviations from experimental data for liquid phase density, liquid phase sound speed, and vapor pressure are similar, yet slightly higher than those of the PC-SAFT EOS for the same compounds. Using only experimental data points at reduced pressures smaller than 20 for parameter tting, a condition observed in most commercial chemical processes, leads to smaller deviations from the experimental values. Adopting for the lattice cell volume the value of 15 cm3 /mol, which is the molar volume of the methylene group in the lattice-based UNIQUAC model, all the adjustable MTC EOS parameters follow regular trends with respect to the number of carbon atoms in the linear alkane chains. These parameters could be tted to empirical expressions. When used, they produce deviations in purecomponent liquid phase density, liquid phase sound speed, and vapor pressure equal to 1

Introduction The gradual depletion of traditional sources of oil and gas has triggered the search for deeper and more complex wells, such as oshore and shale deposits, and the use of sophisticated recovery techniques in mature wells. Natural gas has also increased its share of the energy market, either used directly or after its conversion to liquid fuels via Fisher-Tropsch synthesis. To develop such applications and others in oil and gas processing, it is necessary to describe the physical properties of the pure compounds and mixtures involved. Equations of state (EOSs) are convenient for modeling the thermodynamic behavior of these uids because they are, in general, applicable to predict volumetric and calorimetric properties over wide ranges of pressure, temperature, and composition. In the oil and gas industry, cubic EOSs such as the Soave-Redlich-Kwong 1 and PengRobinson 2 models remain the most commonly used despite considerable advances in thermodynamic modeling. An example is the development of the statistical associating uid theory 3 - SAFT - which is a landmark in many ways. Compared to cubic models, the SAFT EOS has a more rened representation of repulsive and attractive interactions and, importantly, includes a term to account for specic interactions via the association contribution. In addition to these terms, specialized versions now exist to account for the presence of electrolytes 46 and uid connement. 7,8 Several variants of the original SAFT model are now available for even more accurate correlations and predictions of physical properties. Examples include the PC-SAFT, 9 soft-SAFT, 10 and SAFT-VR Mie 11 variants, whose underlying assumptions and mathematical details are available in their original references. PC-SAFT currently seems to be the most studied of these variants. SAFT-family EOSs are more accurate than cubic EOS in many calculations, but they

also have more complicated mathematical expressions and impose a heavier computational load. The cubic-plus-association model (CPA) 1214 and the simplied CPA model 15 are compromise solutions that combine the relative simplicity of the physical contribution of cubic models with the association models, thereby decreasing the computational load while retaining the ability to model polar mixtures. Notwithstanding the evidence of their success, the industrial adoption of SAFT-family and CPA-family models is not widespread yet. A possible reason is the need to apply specic association schemes for each polar compound and mixture. In addition, the resolution of the association equations becomes part of the EOS root-nding procedure, increasing its computational load. This work focuses on the Mattedi-Tavares-Castier 16 (MTC) EOS, which is a model developed within the framework of the generalized van der Waals theory. 17 It is based on a lattice theory with void spaces as a way to account for the uid's compressibility. An analogous theory, without void spaces, is the basis of the well-known, well-established, and widely used UNIQUAC model for the excess Gibbs energy, 18 and of the UNIFAC group-contribution model. 19 Likewise, the concept of group contribution can be introduced in the early stages of the MTC EOS derivation. In this way, its framework can be used as a molecular model, as a group-contribution model, or as a region-contribution model (in which polar molecules are assumed to possess electron acceptor and electron donor regions whose intermolecular interaction is interpreted as a hydrogen bond). Very importantly, the MTC EOS can model polar compounds and mixtures without the need for solving association schemes iteratively. Even for pure non-polar compounds, for which there is no need to solve association schemes in SAFT-based models, our tests indicate that the time needed to compute the pressure and the fugacity coecient simultaneously using the MTC EOS is about 55% of the time required by the PC-SAFT EOS. Much of the work on EOSs targets phase equilibrium calculations and, as a consequence, many publications concentrate on vapor pressures of pure compounds, and bubble and dew points of mixtures. Nonetheless, many other properties are necessary for specic applications. 3



An example is the liquid phase density, which is useful for sizing vessels and pipelines, but cubic EOSs notoriously fail in its prediction, unless volume-translation is used. Another example is the thermodynamic sound speed, 2022 which is essential for the design of venting systems from pressure vessels, and yet is a property dicult to predict accurately with cubic EOSs. Besides, sound speed has been recently used in our group 23,24 as input data in the PC-SAFT parameterization of associative compounds, and has led to a large enhancement of the predictive capacity of phase equilibria between ionic liquids and CO2 , 23 and in the parameterization of acetic acid. 24 It was observed that the PC-SAFT model was unable to correlate the isobaric heat capacity accurately together with the other properties, and authors recommended the use of the parameter set obtained by tting vapor pressure, density and speed of sound. So, among the properties cited hitherto, only calorimetric properties are not used, mainly because of our previous results. 24 So, vapor pressure, density and speed of sound are the focus of this work, which assesses the performance of the MTC EOS 16,2527 in their calculation for all linear alkanes in the range C2-C20, after a pre-screening of parameter tting strategies based on n-hexane. These results are compared to those from the literature for the PC-SAFT EOS, 28 which has been recently claimed by the authors to be a good model for the same properties and compounds considered in this paper. In addition, the correlated parameters have been used to predict the liquid phase density and sound speed of binary mixtures of n-hexane with other linear alkanes in the range C7-C20. The next section is a summary of the MTC EOS and the subsequent section discusses parameter tting strategies. The results section shows that the MTC EOS parameters for linear alkanes follow well dened trends. This allows the development of simple correlations for the parameter values as function of the number of carbon atoms in the alkane chain.

Mattedi-Tavares-Castier equation of state The MTC EOS 16 was derived using the generalized van der Waals theory. 17 It is a latticebased model in which molecular segments can only be at lattice sites, that is, they are not free to occupy any position in space. This introduces an unnatural restriction but simplies the model's derivation and functional form. Unlike several other lattice uid models, the MTC EOS considers the existence of void lattice sites; changes to their number account for system density and pressure variations. Therefore, the model is theoretically capable of describing the behavior of thermodynamic properties and phase equilibrium under high pressure conditions, which is necessary to dierent applications. Details of the EOS derivation can be found elsewhere. 16 A modied version of this EOS was developed based on a holelattice theory augmented with surface charge-densities and applied to pure components 29 and mixtures. 30 In addition, an extended version of the MTC EOS, applicable to electrolyte solutions, exists. 31,32 Originally derived for groups, the equation can be readily written in molecule-based form if each compound is dened as a group, as used by Iglesias et al. 33 Another alternative is to use a region-based approach, in which polar molecules are assumed to have three regions: an electron-donor region, an electron-acceptor region, and a non-polar region. 27,34 A specic interaction occurs when an electron-donor region of a molecule is in contact with an electronacceptor region of another molecule. Here, n-alkanes are assumed to have a single, non-polar region. Therefore, the molecular-based and the region-based approaches are equivalent. Equations 1 and 2 are the expressions for the compressibility factor (Z ) and fugacity coecient of component i in a mixture (φî ) according to the MTC EOS: ng nc X z v˜ − 1 + (q/r) v˜Ψ (q/r) X (Γa − 1) v˜ + v˜rln +l− xi νia Qa Z = v˜rln (1) v˜ − 1 2 v˜ v˜ − 1 + (q/r) i=1 a=1 v˜ − 1 + (q/r) Γa

Sources of experimental data

The references to the publications with the experimental data used in this work are available as a supplementary material. The parameters are tted from liquid phase density, sound speed, and vapor pressure data of linear alkanes. Two data sets are used. One of them comprises data at reduced temperatures between 0.45 and 0.9 for linear alkanes between ethane (C2) and n-decane (C10), obtained from the NIST database and the DIPPR correlations. As this data set was the same used by Liang et al. 28 to assess the performance of the PC-SAFT EOS, it allows for a direct comparison between the results of the MTC EOS and those from the literature 28 for PC-SAFT. The second data set is larger and comprises vapor pressure data at reduced temperatures between 0.45 and 0.9 for linear alkanes between n-hexane (C6) and n-eicosane (C20) obtained using the DIPPR correlations and experimental sound speed and density data obtained from the literature, as shown in Table 1.

Initial screening

The parameter tting strategy plays an important role on the overall performance of thermodynamic models. Twenty-four strategies for tting the MTC EOS's parameters were compared on the basis of their eect on the objective function, Eq. 21, in calculations with n-hexane. The three strategies (identied here as P1 , P2 , and P3 ) that stood out as the best alternatives among them have the following common aspects: (a) the empirical universal constant of the lattice structure, Ψ, is set equal to 18; (b) the parameters Qa , v a , and uaa 0 /R are treated as adjustable. In strategy P1 , the value of B aa is tted and the value of v ∗ is set to 10 cm3 /mol. In strategy P2 , B aa is set to zero and the value of v ∗ is tted. In strategy

P3 , B aa and v ∗ are both tted. Parameter sets P1 and P2 have four adjustable parameters; parameter set P3 has ve adjustable parameters.

Comparison with the PC-SAFT EOS

The PC-SAFT EOS represents the sound speed of linear alkanes better than the SRK (Soave Redlich Kwong) and CPA (plus cubic association) EOSs. 28 Thus, the results of the MTC EOS are compared to those of PC-SAFT, using the parameters sets P1 , P2 , and P3 . Tables 2 and 3 show the average absolute relative deviation (% AARD, Eq. 22) in liquid phase density, sound speed, and vapor pressure, obtained from the MTC EOS applying parameter sets P1 ,

P2 , and P3 to data set used by Liang et al. 28 and to the complete data set, respectively. These results are compared with the results of the PC-SAFT EOS. 28 The two tables show that % AARDs with the MTC and PC-SAFT 28 EOS are generally of the same order of magnitude, with the MTC EOS outperforming the PC-SAFT EOS for density predictions, while the opposite happens with vapor pressure predictions. The results with parameter sets

P1 , P2 , and P3 indicate that estimating v ∗ is more eective than estimating B aa . Estimating both lead to a reduction of % AARD in the three properties of 0.88% from P1 to P3 and of 0.30% from P2 to P3 . The typical average uncertainties for the three properties is 0.5% for vapor pressure, 0.1% for density (from DIPPR correlations) and for sound speed is 0.01% 10


Page 10 of 36

Page 11 of 36

at low pressures and 0.1% at higher pressures, hence at higher pressures the % AARD for the three properties due to uncertainties is of 0.23%. Using this number as a reference, the results with parameter sets P2 and P3 are similar, and even more similar are the results with MTC parameter set P3 and PC-SAFT, which dier 0.24% in % AARD. It was observed that the lattice volume parameter, v ∗ , of dierent hydrocarbons ranged from 6.51 cm3 /mol to 18.65 cm3 /mol for parameter set P2 , with 15 cm3 /mol taken as a representative value. For parameter set P3 , the packing volume parameter ranged from 8.58 cm3 /mol to 27.12 cm3 /mol, with 17 cm3 /mol being a representative value.

Comparisons using a reduced data set

Figures 2 and 3 show the eect of pressure on the sound speed and density of n-hexane using the model parameters obtained for the complete data set. The deviations between experimental and calculated results become larger as the pressure increases. Similar patterns appear for components in the range from C7 to C20. Because most chemical processes do not operate at pressure levels as high as those of Figs. 2 and 3, a reduced data set was dened 11

with only data points below the reduced pressure of 20 for each component. In addition, this reduced data set does not contain n-tetradecane (C14) because only points up to a reduced pressure of 0.06 were available. Use of the reduced data set for parameter tting reduces the % AARD, as summarized in Table 4. The corresponding parameters of sets P1 , P2 , and P3 are reported in Table 5. As it was observed for the complete data set, the packing volume parameter, v ∗ , of dierent hydrocarbons also tends to values substantially higher than 10 cm3 /mol, which is the value adopted for v ∗ in parameter set P1 . It should be noted that, for calculations with mixtures, it is possible to use component-specic v ∗ -values 29,30 but it is more convenient to have a component-independent v ∗ -value, which parameter set P1 has, but P2 and P3 have not. As the ultimate goal of this work was the calculation of mixture properties, a new parameter 0

set P1 was dened with the lattice volume parameter, v ∗ , set equal to 15 cm3 /mol, which is the value for the methylene molecular segment adopted in the UNIQUAC excess Gibbs energy model.

Overall, the results for liquid phase density present the smallest deviation from the experimental data. This may be explained, at least in part, by the fact the experimental data sets used for parameter tting had more density data points than vapor pressure or sound speed data points. However, it should also be noted that accurate sound speed predictions with equations of state are usually more dicult to achieve. Thus, it is possible that both factors, number of data points and property type, have contributed to the outcome. The dierences

in average % AARD between parameter sets P2 and P3 are 0.34% for the complete set and 0.30% for the reduced set, which is about the 0.23% typical uncertainty, but still higher. For parameter sets P1 and P3 these dierences are 1.59% and 2.31%, respectively, and again the estimation of v ∗ is more advantageous than the estimation of B aa , although it is still possible to point out the benets of estimating both. 0

Table 5 also shows the parameters of set P1 , which were obtained using the reduced data set. From the values, it is clear that each parameter follows a well-dened pattern with the respect to the number of carbon atoms in the linear alkane chain. The next subsection presents correlations for these parameters as functions of a single characterizing parameter, which is the number of carbon atoms in the n-alkane chain.

Predictions for linear alkanes

Figure 5 shows results of the MTC EOS for pure n-tetradecane (C14), n-heneicosane (C21), and n-tetracosane (C24) using parameter values correlated as functions of the number of carbon atoms in the n-alkane chain (Eqs. 23-26). These are predictions for n-tetradecane because its experimental data were not used for parameter tting in the reduced data set. The eect of temperature on the liquid phase density, sound speed, and vapor pressure is satisfactorily predicted. The results for n-heneicosane (C21) represent a slight extrapolation of the range used for parameter tting because this compound has one carbon atom more than the largest n-alkane used for parameter tting (n-eicosane, C20). The results for ntetracosane (C24) are also predictions, but further away from the maximum carbon number used for the MTC EOS parameter correlation. Systematic deviations between the calculated and experimental values are observed for the liquid phase density (Figure 5a), sound speed (Figure 5b), and vapor pressure (Figure 5c) but the overall eect of temperature on these

properties is correctly predicted.

Binary mixtures of linear alkanes

This section presents MTC EOS predictions for the density and sound speed of binary mixtures of n-alkanes using the correlations between parameter values and the number of carbon atoms, Eqs. 23-26. The value of 15 cm3 /mol was adopted for the lattice cell volume 0

in all cases and the parameter set P1 shown in Table 5 was used for the calculations. For the binary mixtures of n-hexane with n-alkanes in the range C7-C12 at 298.15 K, 1 atm, and various concentrations measured by Touriño et al., 35 the % AARD for sound speed and density are smaller than 1.38% and 0.55%, respectively. Figures 6-7 show these results. It is noteworthy that the MTC EOS captures the compositional dependence and that the eect of the carbon chain size dierence on the accuracy of the predictions is minor. Figure 7 shows that the MTC EOS captures the compositional eect also on sound speeds but the deviations between the experimental and predicted sound speeds of the pure components impact the model's ability to predict mixture sound speeds.

Conclusions This study evaluated the ability of the MTC EOS in representing the liquid phase density, sound speed, and vapor pressure of linear alkanes (C6-C20) considering various parameter tting strategies. Among the tested options, it was more advantageous to estimate the characteristic volume (parameter set P2 ) than the temperature-dependence parameter for the characteristic energy of interaction (parameter set P1 ), and estimating both (parameter set

P3 ) was more advantageous but the decrease in deviations was close to the typical experimental uncertainties. The best set of parameters produces deviations in liquid phase density, liquid phase sound speed, and vapor pressure equivalent to the corresponding deviations for the PC-SAFT EOS within typical experimental uncertainties. It was observed that, for 17



the MTC EOS, the deviations between calculated and experimental property values tend to increase as the pressure increases when pressures up to 700 MPa are taken into account. Retting the MTC EOS parameters only with data points whose reduced pressure is smaller than 20, which is a condition observed in most commercial chemical processes, the best set of parameters produced deviations equal to 0.5% in liquid phase density, 2.8% in liquid phase sound speed, and 1.3% in vapor pressure, and this is the parameter set recommended for MTC EOS calculations using ve parameters per compound. Given that the tted lattice cell volumes were within a relatively narrow value range, the xed value of 15 cm3 /mol was adopted, which is the molar volume of the methylene group in the lattice-based UNIQUAC model. Parameters tted using this assumption follow regular trends with respect to the number of carbon atoms in the linear alkane chain and their values were tted to empirical expressions as function of the number of carbon atoms in the linear alkane chain. The purely predictive parameters calculated using these empirical expressions produce deviations in pure-component liquid phase density, liquid phase sound speed, and vapor pressure equal to 0.6%, 2.8%, and 9.8%, respectively. Predictive results for binary mixtures are generally in good agreement with the experimental data. In purely predictive calculations for n-alkanes with the MTC EOS, these empirical expressions provide the recommended parameter set.
