Thermodynamics of Associating Fluids
2
Chains of molecules
• Many molecules are not spherical, but could be represented as consisting of connected spherical segments: chains
• Concept of chains of hard-spheres allows the development of EOS to represent polymers of complexes (amines, alcohols, acids) .
• Statistical mechanics makes possible to model assemblies of spherical segments forming chains
3
Hydrogen bonds and associating fluids
• Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces existing between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom such as oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine.
• The hydrogen bonding is considered as a chemical strength or chemical equivalent, whose intensity is several orders of magnitude greater than the physical forces and an order of magnitude lower than that of chemical bonds.
4
Hydrogen bonds and associating fluids
• For example, the interaction energy of van der Waals forces for methane is 0.6 kJ / mol, while that of the H- bond of water is 22.3 kJ / mol, and that of an OH chemical bond is 465 kJ / mol.
• H- bonds allow the formation of complex molecules and polymers, to which they impart specific behaviors.
• For example, in the absence of H- bonding, the boiling temperature of water at atmospheric pressure would be 80 °C instead of 100 °C, and its melting point - 110 °C instead of 0 °C.

H- bonds and associating fluids
• Associating fluids can be described as fluids having an ability to form H- bonds.
• Associating fluid molecules combine to form long chains of polymers or dimers.
• The intermolecular forces involved in these fluids are intermediate between the dispersion forces or weak electrostatic interactions, and the forces characteristic of chemical reactions forming the molecules.
7
H- bonds and associating fluids
• Associating fluids exhibit one or more association sites, each of them being characterized by a potential placed near the perimeter of the molecule.
• Associating interactions depend on the distance and orientation of the molecules.
8
H- bonds and associating fluids
• Example of spherical segments equipped with association sites A and B. The two spheres can form AB dimer bonds only if the distance and orientation of the sites are favorable:
1. molecules too far– no association2. misdirection3. association achieved
9
Possible association schemes
1. two sites cannot associate with a third;2. a site of the molecule i cannot associate simultaneously on two sites of j;3. double association is not permitted
10
Association limits1. a complex molecule is modeled as consisting of four segments of hard spheres;2. the interaction forces between two remote molecules are represented;3. an associating link between two sites links two chains.
11
Chains of molecules
• The association function via a square well potential can be characterized by two values , the energy of association (depth of the well) and a parameter characterizing the volume of association (bound to the well width).
• In addition to these values, the association scheme must be specified, that is to say the number of sites and their type.
12
EOS based on associating fluid theory
• Based on these concepts, new theories derived from statistical mechanics lead to the development of the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT) or Cubic Plus Association (CPA) EOS able to accurately represent the thermodynamic properties of fluids, be they associating or not, complex or polar molecules.
• These new equations of state can be used to model, with a small number of parameters, some refrigerants whose molecules are usually polar but not necessarily associating

Water molecule association sites
the CPA model considers that the water molecule has four association sites among which two electron acceptor protons C and D (so-called scheme 4C)

Origins of SAFT
• theory for mixtures in which molecular association occurs, and application to binary mixtures of components A and B in which AB dimers are formed, but there is no AA or BB dimerization.
• Based on Wertheim theory of cluster expansion
18
Basics of Wertheim’s theory
• Cluster expansion done in terms of two densities: the equilibrium monomer density and the (initial) overall number density. In so doing, we are guaranteed the correct low density limit.
• Assumption: the repulsive core interactions restrict the highly orientationally dependent H- bond to only dimer formation
19
Basics of Wertheim’s theory
• The resulting equations are applicable to a pure fluid with short-range, highly orientationally dependent attractive forces and hard repulsive cores, such that only dimers can form. Chapman et al extended the theory to binary mixtures of components A and B
20
Basic model equations• ra = ra(1) + ra(2)• overall number density of component a is the
sum of the equilibrium density of monomers + the equilibrium density of dimers
• Helmholtz free energy of the associating mixture minus that of the reference mixture
21
the monomer fraction results from the solutionof these equations

23
Potential model
Components A and B have the same hard sphere diameter s and both have off-center point charge dipoles of equal magnitude and opposite sign.Like pairs of molecules interact as hard spheres. Unlike pairs interact as hard spheres with a sum of coulombic interactions.
24
Potential model
The coulombic interactions are turned off if the dipole center-dipole center RDD distanceis larger than a given cutoff (rC). If s < 0.55 rc only dimers form.

Potential Model
Chains: flexible linear chains of tangentially bonded spheres with the end segments having 2 H-bonding association sites: one e- acceptor and one e- donor.Water: single sphere with 4 association sites: 2e- donors and 2 e- acceptor sites
Effective pair potential between unbonded segments:
49
Theory--a mixture of m chain segments and one solvent segment--chains are formed by forcing segments to bond at specific sites--chain ending segments have multiple association sites and one chain forming site; the chain middle segments have 2 chain-forming sites; thesolvent segment has various association sites--specifying which sites can bond, chains of defined length can be formed--the Helmholtz free energy is expressed as a function of the density of the segments, where Xring is the density of “rings” (intramolecular associations)

Non-homogeneous fluids
• A fluid can be non-homogeneous of an external field (could be electric, magnetic, or the presence of a surface (wall) that modifies the structure of the fluid in its vicinity
• In a homogenous fluid (no external field) we can use SAFT as explained before
• In a non-homogeneous fluid, we use a different approach, known as molecular density functional fluid
51
Molecular density functional theory
• At equilibrium, there is a minimum in the grand potential:
• The grand potential W is related to A
segment i density at position rbulk chemical potential of segment i
external potential felt by segment i at r
Equations can be solved for the equilibrium density profile given an expression for A

Expression for the intrinsic A

Once these equations are solved we get the equilibrium density profile r(r)

Some results• There are only two type of association
sites: O and H and only unlike associations are allowed:
