Dimerization and the Initial Pressure Dependence of the Viscosity of Polar Gases

(Received 9 January 1967)

The contributions of bound and metastably bound molecules to the second virial coefficient of polar gases have been calculated by assuming equal probability for all the relative orientations of the interacting dipoles. The results have been utilized to explain the initial pressure dependence of the viscosity of polar gases. The results obtained for steam and ammonia are quite satisfactory.

I. INTRODUCTION

I T is possible to explain the pressure dependence of the transport coefficients of gases from a knowledge

of the equilibrium constants for cluster formation and collisional transfer. In order to explain the initial pressures dependence it is sufficient to consider dimeri­zation only.

Stogryn and Hirschfelder l have considered the initial pressure dependence of the thermal conductivity and viscosity of nonpolar gases on realistic potential models. They have found that in the case of thermal conductivity at low temperatures, molecular association is more important than collisional transfer while at higher temperatures collisional transfer predominates. For viscosity the initial pressure dependence is pri­marily due to collisional transfer. This problem has subsequently been treated by Kim and Ross2 by con­sidering the presence of quasidimers in addition to stable and metastable dimers. However, for polar gases, due to long-range dipole-dipole forces, associ­ation is expected to playa much more significant role than for nonpolar gases (except for helium3,4 only). Highly polar substances like steam and ammonia show a negative pressure coefficient of viscosity.5-7 Barua and Das Gupta8 ,9 have shown that the apparently anomalous behavior of ammonia and steam is due to association, and the sign of the pressure coefficient depends on the relative effects of association and col­lisional transfer. Their results are, however, qualitative, as they had to employ the semiempirical method of Hirschfelder, McClure, and Weekslo to obtain the

percentage of dimers at any particular temperature and pressure. Recently, Barua, Chakraborti, and Saran,l1 and Saran, Singh, and Barual ? have evaluated Bb ( T) and Bm( T), the contributions of bound and metastably bound molecules to the second virial coef­ficient, respectively, for polar gases by assuming the dipoles to be in the head-to-tail position. The results of Barua et al,u have subsequently been refined by Singh, Saran, and Barua.13 However, for transport properties at not too low temperatures, it is probably justified14 ,15 to assume equal probability for all the relative orientations of the interacting dipoles. The equilibrium constant for dimerization is related to Bb (T) and Bm (T) and hence it is necessary to evaluate them by putting equal weight to all the relative orienta­tions of the dipoles. In this paper our purpose has been twofold, viz.:

(1) Evaluation of Bb(T) and Bm(T) by assuming equal probability for the relative orientations of the interacting dipoles.

(2) Consideration of the initial pressure dependence of viscosity of polar gases.

the molecules. For ,u---t0 Eq. (1) reduces to the well-known Lennard-Jones (12: 6) potentialfor nonpolar molecules.

For the nonspherical monomers the equilibrium constant for the dimerization reaction

can be defined as

nl, nz being the number of moles of monomers and dimers, respectively, QI, Qz being the corresponding partition functions. The factor 'Y takes into account the possibility of hindered rotation when two nonspherical monomers form a dimer. Thus the partition function of a dimer may be written as

(5)

where Qd is the partition function a dimer would have if the monomers were spherically symmetric; Qrot and Qvib are the rotational and vibrational partition func­tions.

The fact that polar molecules have an angle-de­pendent potential and the probability of rotational energy transfer is relatively high makes the evaluation of Qdimer very difficult. This is particularly so as 'Y cannot be calculated accurately. Qualitatively, it may only be stated that it is unity for spherical monomers and less than unity for nonspherical molecules. How­ever, Monchick and Masonl4 have recently treated the

transport properties of polar gases by assuming (a) a fixed relative orientation of the interacting dipoles during a collision, and (b) that all relative orientations of the dipoles are equally probable.

With the above approximations, the calculations of either the collision integrals or the contributions of bound and metastable-bound molecules to the second virial coefficient are no more difficult than those for central forces except for the introduction of an ad­ditional parameter. For spherically symmetric inter­molecular potentials, the equilibrium constant for dimerization can be written as

K(T) =nzV /nlz= - (Bb+Bm) = -Bd. (6)

It has been shown by Ghoshl7 that, like nonpolar gases, for polar gases as well the lifetime for the dissociation of metastable double molecules is usually longer than the average time between collisions. Thus the metastable­bound molecules behave effectively as stable double molecules. Bb ( T) and Bm ( T) can be expressed asl8

Bb(T) =-NNQZb/V, (7)

Bm (T)=-NA6Q2m/V, (8)

Bd(T) =Bb(T)+Bm(T), (8')

QZb and Q2m being the corresponding partition functions, N Avogadro's number, V the volume, and A2= hZ/27rmkT.

Substituting the expression for QZb as obtained by Hill,18 Eq. (7) can be reduced tol

where d is the distance of closest approach when the initial kinetic energy K and the impact parameter b are zero. Similarly, by substituting the expression for Q2m in Eq. (8) we can obtain,!

Bm(T) =-2 (kT)3/2 r2 K-¢(r)- --;2 exp - kT drdK, orICk)

(10)

where the upper limit Kc in Eq. (10) is the solution of the equation rf(K) =rh(K). The significance of these terms are clear from Fig. 1 in which the effective potential, defined by

<Peff(r, L) =<p(r)+(L/rZ),

L=Kbz,

(11)

(12)

is plotted against r for a particular value of L which is less than the value of Lc for which <Pelf has an inflection point (Fig. 1 of Ref. 12). The value of <pe!! at its in­flection point is known as the critical energy Kc.

The evaluation of Bb(T) and Bm(T) from Eqs. (9) and (10) for fixed relative orientations of the interacting dipoles have been given in detail elsewhere.1l- 13 Here we have extended the tables reported in Refs. 12 and 13 by considering the repulsive orientations of the dipoles.

For A < 0, the relative orientation of the dipoles is repulsive and there are two repulsive portions in the interaction potential, one at long range and the other at short range. It can easily be shown by solving the two equations ¢(rm) =0 and d¢(rm)/drm=O simul­taneously that for A~-0.38 the minimum of the potential-energy curve becomes zero. By solving the equations d¢/dr=O and d2¢/dr2 =0 simultaneously, it may also be shown that for A::::; - (8/27)1/2~-0.54, the potential has no minimum at all. The implications of these results are that for A::::; -0.38 and for A::::; -0.54 bound and metastably bound double molecules, respectively, cease to exist (Fig. 2). As Bd*(Bd*=Bd/bo, bo=j7rN(3) decreases steeply with the

larger negative value of A (e.g., it is of the order of 10--5 for A = -0.4) we have evaluated it up to A = -0.2 and for T* ranging from 0.4 to 10. The values of Bd* (inclusive of the results of Refs. 12 and 13) are given in Table I. The average value of Bd* by putting equal probability for all the relative orientations can be obtained from the following equations14

:

From Eq. (6), the mole fraction of the dimers can be written as

The integrals in Eq. (12) were evaluated by using one-interval, five-point Gaussian integration for each of the variables COS01, C0502, and cp. It is found that the accuracy for (Bd*(Amax, T*), where Amax=!.u*2, is about 1 % in extreme cases (i.e., for larger values of Amax and lower values of T*) and is much better in other cases. Amax is the maximum value of A as ob­tained from Eq. (2). The averaged values of Bd* as a function of Amax and T* are recorded in Table II.

0'12, and (Amaxh2' At present this problem cannot be tackled rigorously and the force parameters are gen­erally estimated by assuming the two molecules which form the dimer to be at equilibrium distance from each other and a monomer moves at the same distance from the nearest molecule in the dimer'! The force param­eters for dimer-monomer interaction for steam and ammonia have been obtained by Barua et at. 8•9 and the values are given in Column 2 of Table IV. The calculated values of RTa/co are given in Column 4 of the same table. For the sake of comparison we have chosen the experimental viscosity data of Kestin and Wang5 for superheated steam and those of Iwasaki, Kestin, and N agashima6 for ammonia. The experi­mental data were fitted to a cubic equation in pressure at a particular temperature and was obtained from it. The experimental values of RTa/bo are given in Column 5 of Table IV.

It may be seen from Table IV that, in agreement with the experimental values, the calculated values of RTa/bo are negative. For ammonia the quantitative agreement between experiment and theory is also satisfactory. These results should be considered as gratifying particularly in view of the strongly polar nature of steam and ammonia. In fact, the agreement with experimental values is as good as that obtained by Stogryn and Hirschfelder1 for nonpolar gases. For steam a part of the disagreement between experimental and calculated values of RTa/bo may be due to ex­perimental uncertainties as it is difficult to measure the viscosity of steam very precisely. Further improve­ment in the calculated values of a can also be made by having a better averaging for dipole-dipole and dimer-monomer interactions.
