Supercritical fluid thermodynamics from equations of state

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Supercritical multicomponent fluid thermodynamics are often built from equations of state. We investigate mathematically such a construction of a Gibbsian thermodynamics compatible at low density with that of ideal gas mixtures starting from a pressure law. We further study the structure of chemical production rates obtained from nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics. As a typical application, we consider the SoaveRedlichKwong cubic equation of state and investigate mathematically the corresponding thermodynamics. This thermodynamics is then used to study the stability of H2O2N2 mixtures at high pressure and low temperature as well as to illustrate the role of nonidealities in a transcritical H2O2N2 flame.
