A Helmholtz Free Energy Formulation of the Thermodynamic Properties of the Mixture (Water + Ammonia)

R Tillner-Roth, Daniel G. Friend

Abstract

A thermodynamic model incorporating a fundamental equation of state for the Helm-holtz free energy of the mixture water+ammonia} is presented which covers the thermodynamic space between the solid-liquid-vapor boundary and the critical locus. It is also valid in the vapor and liquid phases for pressures up to 40 Mpa. It represents vapor-liquid equilibrium properties with an uncertainty of 0.01 in liquid and vapor mole fractions. Typical uncertainties in the single-phase regions are 0.3% for the density and 200 J mol-1 for enthalpies. Details of the data selection and the optimization process are given. The behavior of the fundamental equation of state is discussed in all parts of the thermodynamic space.
