A new simple two-constant cubic equations of state for hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon mixtures, and other non­associating compounds is introduced. This equation of state is based on the statistical mechanical information available for the repulsive thermodynamic functions and the phenomenological knowledge of the attractive intermolecular potential tail contributions to the thermodynamic properties. This new two-constant­parameter cubic equation is in the following form:

It is shown that this equation of state is more accurate than the Redlich-Kwong equation, which has been considered to be the best two-constant-parameter cubic equation of state.

INTRODUCTION

The success of oil and gas recovery, production, and processing operations is related to the availability of accurate and simple equations of state for prediction of thermodynamic properties of fluids. Recent developments in modeling the phase behavior of reservoir fluids indicate that more serious considerations must be given to fundamental approaches to produce simple and accurate equations of state1•9• Although, there has been considerable progress made in the development of equations of state based on the statistical mechanics, the cubic equations of state are still widely preferred in industrial calculations. Equations such as the van der Waals, Redlich-Kwong, Heyen and their modifications are extensively used in petroleum andnatural gas engineering calculations1•7 •

In this report, we first present a simplified, but accurate, equation for the positive (repulsive) term of equations of state. Then we introduce a new version of cubic equations of state using the simplified repulsive term developed in part 1. A new cubic equation of state which contains two constant parameters is then introduced. The resulting equation of state is used for property prediction of a variety of hydrocarbons, other fluids, and mixtures of practical interest. This equation of state is shown to be a simple cubic equation with superior accuracy than the RI< equation which has been considered to be the most accurate two-constant-parameter cubic equations of state.

ntE NEW REPULSIVE TERM OF EQUATIONS OF STATE

The importance of short-range repulsive forces in an equation of state for determining the thermodynamic properties of fluids is well established by the works of numerous investigators.2•6,7·11•16• This is because moreaccurate expression for the repulsive term of an equation of state results in a better agreement with the experimental data. However, the major weakness of the industrial equations of state is due to their inaccurate repulsive term,

(1)

An accurate equation for representing the repulsive effect is the MCSL equation which reduces to the following form for pure fluids 11:

This equation can replace the repulsive term, v /(v-b), in the cubic equations. However, due to the fact that after this modification the resulting equation of state was not going to be cubic any more Scott14 introduced the following equation for the repulsive term of pure fluid equations of state.

v min appearing in Table 1 is the smallest molar volume for fluids which can be calculated based on different equations of state (approximately the molar volume at the triple-point) when the MCSL repulsive equation of state is used to modify the above equations (replacing v /(v0b) with eq. 2). Of course the MCSL equation of state is valid for v /b values as low as 0.25. Considering the fact that the v /b in the cubic equations of state (excluding the van der Waals equation which, because of its inaccuracy, is not used for practical calculations) do not go below 0.7 we propose L'le following repulsive equation of state for v /b > 0.7:

Z = Pv /RT= (v + 0.62b)/(v-0.47b) rep (5)

This equation reproduces the MCSL equation for the repulsive fluid with good accuracy for v /b > 0.7 as it is demonstrated in Figures 1 and 2. In Figure 1 the percentage deviation of calculating the repulsive compressibility factor from the exact MCSL equation as calculated by eq. (5) is compared with the Scott and Kim, et.al models. According to this figure eq. (5) is in better agreement with the MCSL equation than the other simplified repulsive equations for v /b > 0.7.

In Figure 2 the repulsive excess Helmholtz free energy (over the ideal gas) ,

Z<�> = Pv /RT= (v + 0.5 b)/(v -0.5 b) (3) (A-A18)/RT = - 2.319Ln(l - 0.47b/v) (6)

Similarly, Kim, et al. (1986) presented another equation for repulsive term of equations of state:

Z<�> = Pv /RT= (v + 0.77 b)/(v - 0.42 b). (4)

Neither of the above two equations are accurate enough to replace eq.(2) as it is demonstrated in Figure 1. In order to produce a simple, but accurate, repulsive term for cubic equations of state, we consider a number of representative cubic equations of state in a generalized from as shown in Table 1.

as derived from eq. (5) is compared with the similarcalculations using the Scott and Kim, et.al models.According to this figure eq. (6) is in better agreementwith the accurate MCSL equation of state than the othersimplified repulsive models.

We have extended the applicability of equations (5) and(6) to repulsive mixtures by writing them in thefollowing forms

accurate, but complicated, MCSL11 repulsive mixture equation for v /b > 0.7. We have calculated the thermodynamic properties of equimolar binary mixtures (x1=x2=1/2) with (b22/b11)113 = 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0. Theresults of these calculations are compared with the accurate MCSL repulsive mixture equation of state as reported in Figures 3 and 4. The maximum percentage deviation of the binary repulsive mixture compressibility factor and excess Helmholtz free energy for molecular diameter ratios of (b2ib11)113 = 1.5 to 3 is calculated to be 3% for v /b > 0.7, which is in the range of accuracy of MCSL equation.

In order to test further the accuracy of the proposed repulsive term of the mixture equation for multi­component mixtures we have used it to calculate thermodynamic properties of polydisperse (continuous) repulsive systems through different distribution functions f(r). Following the method of Salacuse and Stell16 we can express eq.(9) for the polydisperse systems as the following:

bill

= (1/16) (7� + 9Jltil'lli) (10)

Where, m1, ffii and m3 are the first, second and third

moments of distribution function, respectively, defined as:

II\ = [ r• f(r) dr

For the normal distribution:

the moments are given by

II\= r + (2'1 /n)1n.

Mz = f 2 + 11 + 2(211 /n)112

II\= r 3 + 2(2/n)11'Lri312 + 311 r + 3 r 2(211 ht )112

(11)

(12)

(13) (14) (15)

where 11 and r are the variance and mean, respectively. Therefore, the mixture bm/v, eq. (10) for the normal distribution is as the following:

653

We can calculate the compressibility factor and Helmholtz free energy of this polydisperse repulsive mixture by joining eq. (16) with eq's (7) and (8).

For the Schultz distribution:

f s(r) = _l (S !. 1 )s + 1 r8 [-(S : 1 ) r]

sl r r (17)

where r is the first moment of the distribution, and s is related to variance of f

8(r) by,

-2T\ (r) = var(r) = ..1...-Js+l

(18)

we can derive the following expressions for the bu/v of the Schultz polydisperse repulsive mixture:

b /v=4 ( pNo? )((s + 2)(8s + 15))m 6v B(s + 1)2

(19)

Then by replacing this equation in eq's (7) and (8) we can calculate the compressibility factor and Helmholtz free energy of the Schultz polydisperse repulsive fluids.

We have calculated the thermodynamic properties of polydisperse repulsive mixtures obeying the normal and schultz distributions. The results of these calculations are compared with the accurate polydisperse MCSL repulsive equation of state11 in Figures 5 to 8. According to these figures the deviations of the multi-component repulsive mixture compressibility factor and Helmholtz free energy fo.!:_ Shultz (with f=l & T)=l/3,1/6,1/11) and normal (with f=l & h=0.1,0.3,0.5) distributions are quite low and acceptable for v /b > 0.7 range of interest in industrial equations of state.

We have also made calculations for values of r other than unity with similar results as to Figures 5-8 which are not be reported here due to space limitation.

At this stage we propose the following modified equation of state:

Z=Pv/RT

= (v+0.62b)/(v-0.47b)-(av /RT)/T \v2+tv-dbc) (20)

The difference between this equation and the generalized equation reported in Table 1 is the replacement of the new repulsive compressibility factor given by eq (5). Provided the proper numerical values of E., I, , and & are replaced in this equation one can reproduce the new versions of the equations of state

reported in Table 1. It should be pointed out that this change of the repulsive term will not keep the Peng­Robinson and Heyen equations in cubic forms any more.

By a pplying the critical point constraints: (oP /ov)T =(o2P /ov2)r =0 (for all equations); and Z = Z

c C C

(for the three-parameter equations like Heyen) we can derive expressions for parameters of the new version of equations of state with respect to the critical properties as reported in Table 2.

"These values are based onZc=0.27.

According to this table, except for the Heyen equation for which Zc is an input parameter, the Z

c values calculated

based on the hew version of the other equations of state are closer to the experimental z, values than the Z/s calculated by the original form of the equations of state.

THE NEW TWO-CONSTANT-PARAMETER CUBIC EQUATION OF STATE

By replacing ci. =0 in eq. (20) it will become a cubic equation in the following form

Z = (v + 0.62b)/(v - 0.471>) - (a/RT)/'JC(v + £.). (21)

The choices of E, and I, are still in our disposal. For the sake of simplicity we choose f. =1/2, as proposed by Redlich and Kwong10, and t=0.4i'b as appears in the denominator of the repulsive term of eq. (21). As a result we introduce a new cubic equation of state in the following form:

Z = (v + 1.13191)/(v -t)-(a/RT)/T 112(v +£.) (22)

Equation (22) is a cubic equation of state in terms of

volume and contains only two constant parameters. By applying the critical point constrains, we determine parameters a and I, as the following:

a = 0.48748 R2Tc

512 /Pc

and I,= 0.064662 RTc /Pc (23)

The critical compressibility factor Zc=0.333 will remain the same as the RK equation of state. In order to demonstrate the validity of the repulsive term of this equation of state we have calculated v

m10/b as reported

in Table 3 for different fluids. According to this table for all the fluids studied v mln/b values are in the allowable range of v /b > 0.7 where the repulsive part of eq.(22) accurately represents the MCSL repulsive equation of state.

In eq. (24) we have applied the new mixing rule for repulsive term (eq. 9). For the attractive term, we have used the usual cubic equation mixing rules in order to be able to observe the corrections in the repulsive term of this equation for mixture calculations. It should be pointed out that there are also other possibilities for the mixing rules of the attractive term of this equation of state11• This new equation of state is used to predict properties of pure fluids and mixtures as it is reported below.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Cubic equations of state may be classified into two categories: (i) Those with two constant parameters like the van der Waals, Berthelot, Dieterici, and Redlich­Kwong (RK) equations. (ii) Those with more than two parameters (or two or more temperature-dependent parameters) and they include the Peng-Robinson, Heyen and Soave equations1•7• Among the first category of cubicequations of state the RK equation is still considered to be the most accurate equation of all. As a result in order to test the accuracy of eq. (22), which is also of the first category of equations, for prediction of the properties of pure fluids and mixtures it is compared here with the RK equation. Table 4 shows the comparisons of the result of density calculations using eq. (22) with the RK equation and the experimental data. According to this table the result of eq. (22) are generally superior to the RK equation for 17 out of 19 pure fluids tested.

In order to test the applicability of eq. (24) for mixtures, we have used it for calculation of the properties of a number of systems. In all the calculations reported here for eq. (24), and for the RK equation, we have chosen the value of the unlike-interaction parameters, k

i/s, equal to zero. This choice of k

1i=O is made in order not tocomplicate the comparisons of different equations of state with the fitting of their k

ii's. However, for moreaccurate calculations of mixture properties this parameter may be fitted to some mixture data.

On Figures 9 and 10 the density calculations for two different binary high-pressure (500 bar) liquid mixtures (n-octane + n-dodecane and n-decane + n-tetradecane) are reported and are compared with the results of the RK equation. According to these figures predictions by eq. (24) are better than the RK equation.

We also have performed solubility and VLE calculations for mixtures. On Figure 11 the solubility of methane in n­hexane is reported versus temperature at two different pressures of 40.5 and 81.1 bars. According to this figure also the predictions by eq. (24) are closer to the experimental data than the RK equation.

In Figures 12 to 14 equilibrium pressure-composition diagrams for methane + n-decane (at 344.26 K}, carbon dioxide + n-decane (at 344.26 K), and for nitrogen + carbon dioxide system (at T = 270.0 K) are reported. According to these three figures the predictions by eq. (24) are far better than the predictions by the RKequation.

655

As it was mentioned earlier , in all the calculations reported here, the unlike interaction parameters, k

1/s, are assumed to be zero. By choosing appropriate non-zero k

11 values the proposed equation of state would

accurately correlate and predict properties of the mixtures reported in this paper. The k

11 data bank for

this equation is not reported here due to space limitation.

The proposed equation of state may be made even more accurate by choosing its parameters (a & b) to be dependent on temperature as it Is usually done in other industrial equations of state1•7•
