    Notes: Using the revised Enskog theory we derive equations for the thermal diffusion ratios kTi and thermal diffusion factors αij of multicomponent hard-sphere mixtures for systems in mechanical equilibrium. The first ten Enskog approximations to the thermal diffusion factor αij[N] (N=1,2,...,10) are evaluated numerically for a variety of system parameter choices appropriate to binary and ternary mixtures. We find that the first Enskog approximation does not vanish; the sequence of Enskog approximations converges most rapidly when the mass of the spheres are nearly equal. The seventh Enskog approximation was estimated to lie within about 1% of the exact value for all choices of system parameters. A comprehensive numerical study of the properties of the thermal diffusion factor for binary mixtures is given, including special mixtures such as the dusty gas, the Lorentz, quasi-Lorentz and Rayleigh gases, and isotopic mixtures. Particular emphasis is placed on showing how the properties of α12 change as the density is increased. The most striking difference between the low-density (Boltzmann) and high-density values for α12 is that the region of the mass ratio—diameter ratio plane for which α12 is either strictly positive or negative, as a function of composition, is much smaller at high densities. Also, at higher densities α12 is not a monotonic function of the mole fraction. For ternary mixtures in which two of the components are isotopes we show how the properties of the third component affect the separation of the two isotopes.

    Notes: For a special class of polydisperse fluid models we have developed methods for obtaining (numerically) exact solutions to the equilibrium conditions. The models considered are special in the sense that the functional dependence of thermodynamic properties on the mole–fraction distribution density F(I) and microscopic parameter functions is restricted. For example, the pressure may depend only on a single moment of F(I). For our special class of models, we show how the dew/bubble conditions can be given a simple two-dimensional geometric representation, and the dew/bubble conditions are reduced to solving two equations in two unknowns. The solution of the full equilibrium conditions can be obtained by an iterative procedure given the solutions of the dew/bubble equations. Three specific models, based on the van der Waals and Soave–Redlich–Kwong equations of state, are examined in detail. We also show how to implement these new solution techniques when the mixture contains a finite number of chemical species.

    Notes: The critical-point conditions for a polydisperse mixture are shown to be equivalent to those for the existence of nontrivial solutions to two homogeneous integral equations of the Fredholm type. This mathematically rigorous treatment is not dependent on the form of any particular model free energy and hence shows that there is no formal distinction between the critical-point conditions of a polydisperse fluid and those conditions derived by Gibbs for the critical point of a mixture with a finite number of components. Using the method of Fredholm, we express the critical-point conditions in terms of the zeros of two absolutely convergent expansions, and demonstrate how the expansions may be used to determine the shifts in critical density and temperature caused by changes in the composition of the fluid.

    Notes: Abstract We use an extended form of the modified Enskog Theory (MET) to calculate viscosity and mutual diffusion coefficients for several binary mixtures. Second and third virial coefficients are required for the calculations. We find that the extended MET provides predictions of the shear viscosity for He-Ar and Ne-Ar mixtures with an accuracy of 2% at densities up to 6 mol · L−1. Extended MET values of mutual diffusion coefficients of binary mixtures in which the mole fraction of one component approaches zero were calculated for He-Ar and Kr-Ar mixtures. The MET values fall within 10–15% of the experimental data at densities up to 11 mol · L−1.

    Notes: Abstract A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method for the calculation of the mutual diffusion coefficient for a mixture of hard spheres is described. The method is applied to a 50-50 mixture of equidiameter particles having a mass ratio of 0.1 for the two species, at a volume of three times close-packing. By extrapolating the results to the limit of vanishing concentration gradient and infinite system size, we obtain a value in statistical agreement with the result obtained using a Green-Kubo molecular dynamics procedure, which is also described. The non-equilibrium calculation yields a mutual diffusion coefficient which decreases slightly with increasing concentration gradient. The Green-Kubo timecorrelation function for mutual diffusion displays a slow decay with time, qualitatively similar to the long-time tail which has been predicted by the hydrodynamic theory of Pomeau.

    Notes: Abstract A new geometric representation for the dew/bubble conditions of a special class of polydisperse fluids is used to develop series expansion representations for the location of the top of the dew/bubble and shadow curves and for an expansion around the top of the dew/bubble and shadow curves. An excellent approximation for the one-comonent van der Waals coexistence is given as a special illustration of the method.

    Notes: Abstract We describe two new methods for locating the dew/bubble curves of fluids. One is a numerical method and the other an analytical method based on the use of series expansions. The utility of these two methods is illustrated by application to a simple one-component fluid model and to several model polydisperse fluids. The numerical method is based on a new geometric representation of the equilibrium conditions-similar in spirit to the geometric representations often used for solving the equilibrium conditions of pure fluids. Our calculations show that the series-expansion technique can be quite effective at producing accurate representations of the phase boundaries.

    Notes: The critical temperatures, pressures and volumes of several mixtures containing CO2, C2H6, C3H8, and C4H10 have been measured using a heavy walled, variable volume, cylindrical glass vessel. In each mixturre the relative proportions of the three hydrocarbon solutes to one another were changed; total solute mole fraction never exceeded 0.1. A detailed study of the mixture CO2 + C3H8 shows that the critical temperature exhibits a minimum at a C3H8 mole fraction of 0.0265. Our mixture data are analyzed using a polydisperse model of dilute solutions.
