DADT_MIX_PR

 

The enthalpy departure of a fluid that obeys the Peng-Robinson equation of state can be expressed:

 

 

The entropy departure is:

 

For a pure fluid, the dimensionless enthaply and entropy departures areprovided by functions H_DEP_PR  and S_DEP_PR., respectively.  For a mixture, a and b  can be obtained directly from A  and B  which are provided by AB_MIX_PR since

 

 

However, it is necessary to evaluate da/dT.  This function provides this service.  The function is called with the following parameters:

 

DADT_MIX_PR(n, T, Tc[1..n], Pc[1..n], w[1..n], y[1..n], k[1..n,1..n])

 

where

     n is the number of fluids in the mixture

     Tc[1..n] is an n-dimensional array with the critical temperatures of each of the fluids in K

     Pc[1..n] is an n-dimensional array with the critical pressures of each of the fluids in Pa

     w[1..n] is an n-dimensional array with the acentric factors of each of the fluids

     y[1..n] is an n-dimensional array with the mole fractions of each of the fluids

     k[1..n,1..n] is a n by n array containing the interaction coefficients between fluid i and j.   Binary interaction coefficient values must be supplied even if their values are 0.

 

 

See Example 11-4.2 in Thermodynamics by Klein and Nellis (2012) for an example.

 

 

NOTE:  The value returned the DADT_MIX_PR has units of Pa-m^6/kmol^2-K.  This is the only function in the Peng-Robinson library that is not dimensionless.
