Introduction

In this chapter we borrow the idea of lattice structures, characteristic of crystals, and apply it to develop lattice-based theories for fluids.

It is not just of academic interest…

Some models widely used in chemical process design can be derived in this way.

Introduction

In the lattice, each site will have z nearest neighbors; z is referred to as coordination number.

The value of z depends on the lattice structure and on whether it is a 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D lattice.

In the developments that will follow, we will not need to examine the lattice structure in detail.

IntroductionThe volume assigned to each lattice site is denoted as b. The number of lattice sites is M. Therefore, the total volume of the lattice is:

V Mb

Suppose there are N of the M sites are occupied by molecules of a certain substance. The remaining lattice sites may be:

• empty: fluids with many empty sites will have low density. Associating density with the number of empty sites is useful to develop equations of state;

•all occupied by molecules of a second species: useful to obtain models for excess Gibbs energy (activity coefficients).

Introduction

Let us recall the connection between entropy and the microcanonical partition function:

, , lnS N V E k

where is the system degeneracy. We will take it to be the number of ways of distributing N molecules of species 1 and (M-N) molecules of species 2 in the lattice. When doing this, we will assume each molecule of species 1 or 2 occupies only one lattice site. Species 2 can be another molecule or a vacancy (i.e., pure fluid 1 with empty spaces between its molecules).

Introduction

, , lnS N V E k

The lattice sites are distinguishable from one another. The molecules of each species are undistinguishable. The vacancies are also undistinguishable.

Initially, we will assume that are no intermolecular interactions, or interactions between molecules and vacancies. All configurations will be assumed to have the same energy.

Examined in this way, it allows a connection with the virial equation of state. When such connection is made, we observe that the virial coefficients for the entropic contribution to the compressibility factor are temperature independent.

It is cubic in volume. Therefore, given T and P, the model may have either one real root and two complex roots or three real roots. This gives it the ability to represent vapor and liquid phases.

There is an inconsistency: we assumed that the molecules were randomly placed in the lattice; however, their interaction should create non-randomness effects which are not accounted for.

This changed the energy contribution to the pressure, but the entropy contribution was left unchanged – the algebra becomes complicated.

Activity coefficients for molecules of similar size

In previous slides, we analyzed systems with a pure fluid and vacant sites in the lattice. We will now consider fully occupied lattices, i.e., with no vacant sites. For simplicity, we will analyze binary mixtures.

Aspects to consider:

•We will no longer be able to predict the effect of pressure on properties – the number of vacant sites is always zero;

•The total number of sites will be number of sites of component 1 plus the number of sites of component 2 – we will be unable to predict volume changes on mixing. 27

Activity coefficients for molecules of similar size

The model developed here is called Regular Solution Model.

Consistent with the assumptions made for its development, this model works best for:

•Mixtures with molecules of similar size;

•Intermolecular interactions in the pure components and in the mixture are similar, so that deviations from random distribution of molecules are small.

41

Flory-Huggins model

There are many cases of practical interest in which the molecules have very different sizes.

Polymer-solvent solutions are an extreme example.

The final expression of the Flory-Huggins model is amazingly simple, yet it captures the essential effect of size differences on thermodynamic properties.

Paul Flory received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1974.

•The mixture is binary: polymer + solvent;•All sites of the lattice are occupied;•There are p equal polymer molecules;•Each polymer molecule occupies c lattice sites;•There are s equal solvent molecules;•Each solvent molecule occupies 1 lattice site;•The lattice coordination number is z.

Therefore, the number of lattice sites that the mixture occupies is:

The lattice has N sites. Since it is initially empty, there are N ways to place the first segment of the first polymer molecule: N

All other lattice positions are empty, but the second segment of the chain has to be in one of the z (coordination number) nearest neighbor sites. Therefore, the number of ways to place the first two segments is: Nz

To place the third segment, only (z-1) positions are available. The number of ways to place the first three segments is: 1Nz z

However, as part of a general strategy, let us assign a probability that it is empty, based on the number of segments already placed.

Polymer + solvent mixture:

With all p polymer molecules in the lattice, it is time to place the s solvent molecules there. There are s lattice sites available for that. The number of ways of placing s indistinguishable solvent molecules in s lattice sites is equal to 1. Therefore, the number of ways of placing the p polymer molecules and s solvent molecules is:

Energy of mixing

Energy of the pure polymer: for long chains, only a small fraction of the segments will be at the end of a chain. Most will be internal segments, each with 2 other segments attached to it. Here, we will count interactions between non-bonded segments. Therefore, for each segment, the energy is:

Comments:

•Widely used for polymer solutions;•Internally inconsistent – the interaction energies create non-random spatial distributions, neglected during model derivation;•The polymer chain was assumed to be linear, but many polymer molecules are branched.•Staverman-Guggenheim model (used in UNIQUAC and UNIFAC) is a refinement:
