ABSTRACT

A new generalized perturbed thermodynamic nonlinear isotherm regularity (GPTNLIR) equation of state (EoS) has been proposed for the fluids over the entire density range from gas to liquid. The GPTNLIR has been derived on the basis of an effective nearest neighbor pair interaction of an extended average effective pair potential (AEPP) in the framework of the thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT). The selected AEPP is an extended Lennard-Jones (12, 6, 3) type which considers the repulsive, dispersion, dipole-dipole and longer-range interactions between pair molecules, respectively. Based on the EoS, a non-linear relationship exists between (ZZCS)v2 and ρ for each isotherm of fluid, where Zis the compression factor, v=1/ρis the molar volume, ZCS is Carnahan–Starling (CS) expression for the compression factor of the reference fluid with the temperature-dependent effective hard-core diameter (σeff). The validity of EoS against the experimental pvTdata were tested for a variety of fluids, including polar, non-polar, hydrogen bonded and quantum fluids. This EoS provides the estimation of σeff at T>Tc, T=Tc and T<Tc, in which Tc is critical temperature, for each real fluid using its experimental pvT data and the extension of TPT theory as well.
