A new statistical thermodynamic model for liquids has been proposed. A viscosity equation for pure liquids, a viscosity equation for liquid mixtures, and an equation for activity coefficients are obtained from the model and are expressed by the same parameters. The model can be used to correlate viscosities of pure liquids at different temperatures, to simultaneously correlate viscosities and activity coefficients of binary liquid mixtures at different temperatures and compositions, and to predict viscosities and activity coefficients of multicomponent systems. Finally, for binary systems viscosities can be predicted from activity coefficient information and vice versa. The results show that both the correlations and the predictions with the new model are very good. Introduction

viscosities of pure liquids and binary systems and to predict viscosities of multicomponent systems. For most systems, the correlation and prediction results are very good.

This paper is a followup of our previous work (Cao et al., 1992). In the previous paper, a viscosity model was established that can be used for the viscosity correlations and predictions of pure liquids and liquid mixtures. In this paper, the molecular size is introduced and the new model can be developed. The expressions of both viscosity and activity coefficients of liquid mixtures can be obtained from the new model. The new model is a so-called

Another application of Eyring’s theory is combining

models for viscosity calculations with activity coefficient equations. Wei and Rowley (1985) developed a local composition model for viscosity. The model is based on the NRTL equation and can be used to predict viscosities of nonaqueous liquid mixtures. The data needed in the model are viscosities of pure liquids, interaction parameters

“viscosity-thermodynamics" model (UNIMOD). Viscosity and activity coefficients belong traditionally to two different kinds of properties, transport and thermodynamic properties. Many statistical thermodynamic models for activity coefficients can be found, and many activity coefficient equations have been developed, such as Wilson (Wilson, 1964), NRTL (Renon and Prausnitz, 1968, Cukor and Prausnitz, 1969), ASOG (Kojima and Tochigi, 1979), UNIQUAC (Abrams and Prausnitz, 1975), and UNIFAC (Fredenslund, et al., 1975). These models generally give satisfactory results for correlation and prediction for activity coefficients. The parameters needed in the prediction are normally obtained from vapor-liquid equilibrium data for binary systems. For viscosity of pure liquids and liquid mixtures, the Eyring’s absolute rate theory (Glasstone et al., 1941) has been used. McAllister’s equation (McAllister, 1960), developed from the Eyring’s theory, is a very good viscosity correlation equation. There are two adjustable parameters for binary systems and three adjustable parameters for ternary systems, based on three-body interaction. Dizechi and Marschall (1982) modified McAllister’s equation for ternary systems, and they correlated viscosity data of ternary systems using six binary parameters and one adjustable ternary parameter. On the basis of McAllister’s equation, Asfour et al. (1991) reported a prediction method. In this method, the parameters in McAllister’s equation are calculated from pure component properties. The results for eight n-alkane systems are good. The parameters in all McAllister’s type equations are strongly temperature dependent. Cao et al. (1992) developed a statistical thermodynamic model for viscosity of pure liquids and liquid mixtures. Local composition is introduced into the model. The model can be used to correlate

in NRTL (determined from vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLB) data of the respective binary systems), and excess enthalpy data, which may be experimental data or calculated from the NRTL equation. Wu (1986) used a direct proportionality between the activation energy in Eyring’s theory and the Gibbs energy and developed a new viscosity model. The Gibbs energy may be expressed by the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC activity coefficient equations. This method can be used to correlate viscosities of liquid mixtures with good results, and to predict viscosities of liquid mixtures. To calculate viscosities of liquid mixtures with good accuracy, much information about the mixtures are needed. The information can of course be obtained directly from viscosity data but also from thermodynamic properties of the liquid mixtures. It is interesting to utilize thermodynamic rather than transport properties of liquid mixtures, because there are many thermodynamic models and there are more experimental thermodynamic data than viscosities. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new statistical thermodynamic model, from which both viscosity and activity coefficients of liquid mixtures can be obtained and expressed by the same parameters. The parameters in the new model can be easily determined by information of either viscosity or thermodynamic properties and predictions or correlations between viscosity and activity coefficients of liquid mixtures can be done.

Model For Viscosity and Activity Coefficient The UNIQUAC and UNIFAC models are based on Guggenheim’s lattice theory. Local composition is introduced and Staverman’s model is taken as the hightemperature boundary condition. The potential energy partition function for a liquid mixture may be expressed

Following the idea (as in UNIQUAC) that a molecule in the mixture is represented by a set of segments, we express the kinetic energy partition function for the mixture as

The proportionality constant, called the dynamic viscosity of the liquid, is dependent on the molecular size, shape, and interaction and is possibly expressed by the partition function which is also dependent on the same molecular properties. Eyring developed an absolute rate theory (Glasstone et al., 1941) and described the molecular movement in the way of “chemical reaction”. A molecule, moving from one position to another in the liquid, should possess higher energy than other molecules in order to produce a hole and move to an available position. The extra energy is called activation energy and the energy barrier is symmetric between the nearest positions. If there is no shear force, the activation energy, Ua, in different directions is the same and the molecular movement frequencies in the directions are also the same:

If there is a shear force on the liquid, the activation energy barriers in the forward and backward directions of the shear force are different, Ua =f ea, and the molecular movement frequencies in the two directions are also different:

e0, done by the shear force is added to moving molecule. Subscript a denotes activation state. Here we represent a molecule in the mixture by a set of segments. Every segment has the same size: l\ X h X i3 as l x / x l (height X width X length). There is also an activation energy barrier between two nearest segment positions, and the shear force influences the segment activation energy barrier because work is done by the shear force to the segments. The net velocity of the segment movement and the work done by the shear force to a segment will be

(see Glasstone et al., 1941) have for a number of systems compared the deviations of the observed energy of activation for flow in mixtures from the linear additive law with the deviation from Raoult’s law. The comparison shows a close relationship between the energy of activation and the free energy of mixing. Eyring et al. determined the energy of activation from the internal energy of vaporization at the normal boiling point multiplied by a general constant. Wu (1986) determined the energy of activation from the free energy of mixing multiplied by a general constant. Cao et al. (1992) used a directly proportional relationship between the activation energy barrier and the potential energy of molecule i in the liquid mixture. Here we also assume that the activation energy is directly proportional to the potential energy of molecule i in the liquid mixture and the difference between ground state and activation state is that there are two degrees of freedom of molecular movement at the activation state because of the minimum energy limitation: Uai n

Parameters for Liquid Mixtures from Viscosity Data of Binary Systems 1. Viscosity Correlations for Binary Systems. In the new model, the interaction potential energy differences, Uji Uu, for a liquid mixture represent the adjustable parameters. These parameters are determined from experimental data for binary liquid mixtures. On the basis of eqs 17 and 21, they can be determined from the viscosity data of liquid mixtures. On the basis of eqs 22 or 23, they can also be determined from thermodynamic properties, such as vapor-liquid equilibrium data, liquid-liquid equilibrium data, or excess enthalpy data of the liquid mixtures. In this section, the viscosity data of binary system are used to determine the parameters, Uji Uu- For each binary system, the experimental viscosity data are fitted using eqs 17 or 21, using Fi of eq 29 as the objective function. The experimental viscosity data for binary systems have been found from the Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data. A total of 3990 sets of experimental viscosity data for 288 binary systems is collected here and correlated by the new model. The correlation results and the parameters of interaction potential energy, Uji Uu, for some systems are listed in Table II. A more extensive table for many systems is given in the supplementary material. The average MRSD of the correlation for all binary systems is 0.83%. Figure 3 shows MRSD for each binary system and the average MRSD. Figure 4 shows the correlation of a dynamic viscosity of a system with a maximum. Figure 5 shows correlation of the kinematic viscosity of a system with a minimum. Figure 6 shows correlation of the dynamic viscosity at different temperatures, in which the

parameters of interaction potential energy, Uji Uu, are temperature independent. The correlation results show that the new viscosity equation of liquid mixtures can be used, with very good accuracy, to correlate viscosity data for binary systems, (1) having a maximum or a minimum in viscosities, (2) at different temperatures, (3) for systems which include mixtures with polar-polar, nonpolarnonpolar, nonpolar-polar components, and (4) with a big difference of molecular size between the two components. 2.

3. VLE Predictions for Binary Systems. The interaction potential energy parameters, Uj¡- Uu, obtained from viscosity data of binary systems (listed in Table II), can be used to predict VLE data based on the activity coefficient equation, eq 23. Here the vapor phase is assumed as an ideal gas mixture, and the following relationship is used to calculate VLE data:

compared with the experimental data, which are found from the Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data. The prediction results are listed in Table III. The average MRSD for 28 multicomponent systems is 3.30%. Figure 7 shows MRSD for each multicomponent system and the average MRSD. More detailed results are given in the supplementary material. UNIVISC (Wu, 1986) is a group-contribution viscosity model. The parameters in the model can determined from viscosity data or VLE of liquid mixtures. If the parameters are determined from VLE data, the prediction is normally poor. If the parameters are determined from viscosity data of liquid mixtures, the prediction is good. A total of 331 sets of viscosity data for 20 multicomponent systems has been predicted by the UNIVISC model, where the parameters have been determined from viscosity data of binary liquid mixtures. The results are also listed in Table III. The average MRSD for 20 multicomponent systems is 5.88%. Figure 7 gives MRSD for each multicomponent system and the average MRSD. Other 120 sets of viscosity data for eight multicomponent systems cannot be predicted by UNIVISC model because there are no parameters. The average MRSD of the predictions of the new model for the 20 multicomponent systems is 3.35%. The predicted results of the new model, compared with the experimental data and UNIVISC predictions, show that the new viscosity equation of liquid mixture can be Table III.

Then pressure and mole fractions in the vapor phase at the given temperature and liquid phase composition can be calculated from eq 31. Here the predictions for 134 binary systems have been done.
