1 Introduction

There have been several proposals of equations of state overmore than a century some based on empirical knowledge andothers with a theoretical background (Poling et al 2001) The firstsuccessful approach was the van der Waals equation of state (vander Waals and Rowlinson 1988) This equation is based on a semi-empirical theory in which pressure is considered as the sum oftwo contributions a repulsion term and an attraction term Theequation of state may be represented by

accuracy in the predictions of thermodynamic properties likevapor pressure liquid density equilibrium ratios is achieved bymodifications of the original van der Waals equation Probably themost useful are those of Soave (1972) and Peng and Robinson(1976)

The evaluation of the parameters a and b has significantimportance for the accurate representation of experimental dataThe expressions for the parameters a and b used with PengndashRobinson equation of state was proposed in Peng and Robinson(1976) as follows

a phenomenological point of view from classical thermodynamics(Hall et al 1993) The widely used van der Waals Mixing Rule(vdw-MR) (Vidal 1978) are

where kij frac14 kji kii frac14 0 lij frac14 lji lii frac14 0 and consequently aij frac14 aji andbij frac14 bji (ia j) kij and lij are binary interaction parameters asso-ciated with a and b (Poling et al 2001) that can be adjusted byexperimental data

The vdW-MR have a quadratic dependence on composition (bM isreduced to a linear dependence if lij frac14 0) This functional form is notable to describe all mixtures and several works have proposeddifferent nonquadratic rules eg Wong and Sandler (1992) Adachiand Sugie (1986) Won (1983) and Higashi et al (1994) Someproposed models take into account the excess Gibbs energy atinfinite pressure calculated from a liquid-phase activity coefficientmodel (Huron and Vidal 1979 Michelsen 1990)

The present work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rulefor cubic equations of state that differs from vdW-MR once it mayconsider strong correlations following the lines of nonextensivestatistical mechanics (Tsallis 1988 Borges 2004 Moyano et al2006) through a nonquadraticity parameter qij

The work is organized as follows Section 2 introduces somebasic concepts of nonextensive statistical mechanics and intro-duces the semi-empirical model for the q-Mixing Rule (q-MR) Themethodology results and discussions appear in Section 3 andfinally Section 4 is dedicated to the conclusions

2 Nonextensive statistical mechanics

With the advent of the nonextensive statistical mechanics as ageneralization of the BoltzmannndashGibbs statistical mechanics it becameclear over the years that the new formalism was able to representcertain classes of systems that were not properly described byBoltzmannndashGibbs statistical mechanics Indeed since the original paper(Tsallis 1988) more than two decades ago many works have beendeveloped concerning nonlinear systems The generalized entropy is

with pi being the probability of the microscopic state i W being thenumber of microscopic states kB being a positive constant (theBoltzmann constant) and q being the entropic index If q-1 Eq (7)recovers the celebrated BoltzmannndashGibbs entropy

Formal and logical arguments considering an analogy betweenEqs (8) and (7) have lead to the definition of generalized functions

(Tsallis 1994) particularly the q-logarithm function

and its inverse the q-exponential function

The usual logarithmic and exponential functions are recovered in thelimit q-1

The maximization of the Tsallis entropy Eq (7) with theconstraint of constant generalized mean energy leads to thegeneralized canonical ensemble distribution (Tsallis 1988 Tsalliset al 1998)

where βq is the Lagrange parameter that is related to the inversetemperature Ei is the energy of the ith state and p(Ei) is theprobability of the state with energy Ei be occupied One of thecentral differences between Tsallis and Boltzmann weights is thatthe former presents power law tails (long-lasting for q41 andabruptly vanishing for qo1) while the latter has exponential tails

The difference between Boltzmann and Tsallis weights may be alsounderstood within the following comparison It is known that thepressure P of a hypothetical static isothermal ideal gas atmospherewith gradient given by dP=dhfrac14 mgρ decreases with height accord-ing to an exponential law (Halleys law see for instance Feynmanet al 1963) PethhTHORN frac14 P0expethmgh=kBTTHORN where P0 is the pressure atheight hfrac140 g is the gravitational acceleration A similar expressionholds for the number density ρ (number of moleculesvolume) Thenumerator of the exponent is the potential energy of a molecule withmass m and the denominator is its thermal energy Thermal equili-brium is a very strong simplifying hypothesis that certainly is not validto our atmosphere If we consider that the temperature linearlydecreases with height ie with a constant temperature gradientinstead of a zero temperature gradient mdash the second simplesthypothesis possible mdash then we find that the pressure decays asPethhTHORN frac14 P0 expqethmgh=kBT0THORN with qfrac14 1kBγ=gm and γ frac14 dT=dh isthe negative of the atmospheric temperature gradient Once P frac14 ρkBTand TethhTHORN frac14 T0γh ρethhTHORN frac14 ρ0frac12expqethmgh=kBT0THORN)q In both cases wehave a ratio between the potential and the thermal energies but in theformer we have an exponential law (Boltzmann weight) while in thelatter we have a q-exponential law (Tsallis weight) The case γ frac14 0recovers Halleys law

The introduction of the generalized q-logarithm and q-expo-nential functions has allowed the development of a consistentgeneralized nondistributive algebra based on the q-algebraicoperators (Nivanen et al 2003 Borges 2004) q-addition xqyq-difference x⊖qy q-product x+qy and q-ratio x⊘qy representedas

The present work is confined to mixtures rather than purecomponents and we focus on the mixing rules that are applied to

the parameters of cubic equations of state We have chosen thePengndashRobinson equation of state (Peng and Robinson 1976) but theexpressions for the mixing rules presented below in Section 21 mayequally be applied to other equations of state eg Soave equation ofstate (Soave 1972)

21 q-mixing rules

Within the pairwise additivity approximation with shortndashrangeinteractions the parameter aM of the mixture is considered as anaverage of the interactions between binaries weighted by the jointprobability of finding that particular pair of molecules together ie aM frac14

Pijpijaij If independence between molecules is consid-

ered the joint probability of finding species i in the neighborhoodof species j is simply the product of finding i and j in the bulksolution that is represented by its molar fraction pij frac14 pipj xixjThus the quadratic nature of the mixing rule derives from thehypothesis of independence Deviation from this scenario isusually considered by the introduction of an additional parameterkij according to Eq (3) This structure preserves the quadraticnature ie the independence hypothesis The present modelfollows the procedure used in the generalization of the centrallimit theorem It considers the joint probability of stronglycorrelated systems (that may be a consequence of local inhomo-geneities long-range interactions or other features that leads tothe failure of the independence hypothesis) as the q-product of theindividual probabilities rather than the ordinary product (Tsallis2005 Tsallis et al 2005) The proposed q-Mixing Rule is

where qji frac14 qij qii frac14 1 and xi+qij xj is the q-product between thenon-negative numbers xi and xj The normalizing factorP

ijethxi+qij xjTHORN in the denominator of Eq (14) is necessary to avoidthe MichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome (Michelsen andKistenmacher 1990) The parameter qij radically changes the usualmixing rule it exhibits a nonquadratic dependence on the com-position (that is obviously recovered as qij-1) as can be seenbelow in Figs 1 and 2 This break with the quadratic dependenceon the composition in the mixing rule has led us to call qij asnonquadraticity parameter within the present context

It can be seen that the PengndashRobinson equation of state with q-MR presents a good prediction of the phase behavior for allsystems with smaller deviations in the pressure than those usingvdW-MR

Deviations in the vapor phase concentration using PengndashRobin-son equation of state were small for both mixing rules Ref TenoacuterioNeto et al (2013) does not bring data for the vapor phase of thesystem CO2thornstyrene At low pressures the results calculated withq-MR for the system CO2thorn2ndashbutanol are better than those

calculated with vdW-MR however the predicted values by thesemodels for higher pressures are similar The results obtained for thesystems CO2thornacetic acid and CO2thornstyrene with q-MR are signifi-cantly better than with the conventional mixing rule by providingqualitatively correct predictions of pressure and vapor concentra-tion However both mixing rules show similar results for theCO2thornH2S system The q-MR is able to present a smooth inflectionfor the system CO2thornstyrene which is in agreement with the dataFigs 3ndash10 show pressurendashcomposition diagrams with comparisonbetween experimental data and calculated results for the consid-ered examples

Some pressurendashcomposition diagrams particularly Figs 3 4 and 7display an inflection point This change in the concavity is due to thestronger influence of interactions between molecules under highpressures and the ability of the q-MR model to represent thisbehavior is a consequence of the inflection point of the curves ofthe interaction parameter of the mixture aqM versus composition seeFig 1 and 2 Fig 11 shows the effect of the parameters q12 and k12 onthe inflection point It can be seen that as the parameter q12 departsfrom unit the difference in concavities becomes more pronouncedwhereas the parameter k12 is related to a shift of the curves

The q-MR model has two binary parameters while the originalvdW-MR has only one In order to make a unbiased comparison wehave implemented the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) (Akaike1974) that is a suitable tool for these situations It is defined as

AICi frac14 2log ethmaximum likelihoodTHORNthorn2ki eth22THORN

If the standard deviations σi are known and the residuals are normallydistributed the AIC is written as

AICi frac14 Foptob ethθTHORNthorn2kithorn2kiethkithorn1THORNnki1

eth23THORN

where ki is the number of parameters of the model i Nexp is thenumber of experiments and θopt is the set of optimal parameters (inour case parameters estimated for all temperatures as showed inTable 1) According to the Akaike procedure the more appropriatemodel among those that are being compared is that one which resultsin the lower AIC value The results are shown in Table 2 It is alsouseful to compare the relative AIC values and this is shown in the lastcolumn of the Table Values less than 1 indicate that the q-MR is betterthan vdW-MR All considered systems present relative AIC indexsmaller than 1 indicating that the improvement achieved by the q-MR is not simply due to the existence of an additional parameter

We have also considered the F-test as an additional criteriumfor discrimination between models with different numbers ofparameters (Ludden et al 1994 Motulsky and Christopoulos2004) The F-ratio is defined as

Fratio frac14FvdWMRob ethθoptTHORNFqMR

where dfqMR and dfvdWMR are the degrees of freedom(df i frac14Nki) of the equation of state with q-MR and the equationof state with vdW-MR respectively The calculated F-ratios areshowed in Table 3 and they are compared to the critical F-ratiostaken from the F-Distribution Table (with the same number ofdegrees of freedom) for three different values of significance levelαfrac14 001 005 and 01

The greater the value of the F-ratio the greater the statisticalsignificance of the q-MR model compared to the vdW-MR modelOnly one system considered in the present work presented F-ratiosmaller than the critical F-ratio the calculated F-ratio for thesystem CO2thornacetic acid is slightly smaller than F-ratioα frac14 001

4 Conclusions

This work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rule that is ageneralization of the usual quadratic mixing rule which is recoveredin a special limit qij-1 The q-mixing rule here introduced general-ized through the nonquadraticity parameter qij is free from theMichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome It is based on the q-product thatis able to reflect correlations Departures from the quadratic nature ofthe mixing rule as described by the q-mixing rule may be so strongas to present an inflection point in the graph of the parameter of themixture aqM as a function of composition This is distinctive from theoriginal parabolic mixing rule which has constant concavity Thisfeature is also responsible for the change in concavity in thepressurendashcomposition diagram specially at high pressures wheninteraction between molecules becomes more significant It is acommon practise to use the binary parameter kij with quadraticmixing rules to increase the fitting power of the models though thisparameter preserves the quadratic nature of the rule We also use theparameter k12 in our proposal Indeed it is essential in the presentmodel once it allows proper adjustment of the inflection point of themixing rule

We have used the PengndashRobinson equation of state in thepresented examples but the procedure can readily be applied tovirtually any cubic equation of state that uses mixing rules agrave la vander Waals

We have exemplified the usefulness of the proposed q-mixingrule with vaporndashliquid equilibrium calculations for binary systemscontaining carbon dioxide (CO2thorn2-butanol CO2thornethanol CO2thorn-styrene CO2thornacetic acid CO2thornH2S) and also for the mixturesethanolthornglycerol ethanethorndecane and ethylenethorn1-decanol Wehave used two procedures to compare the proposed model withthe usual one the Akaike Information Criterion and the F-test andthe q-MR has succeeded in all instances considered

where kij frac14 kji kii frac14 0 lij frac14 lji lii frac14 0 and consequently aij frac14 aji andbij frac14 bji (ia j) kij and lij are binary interaction parameters asso-ciated with a and b (Poling et al 2001) that can be adjusted byexperimental data

The vdW-MR have a quadratic dependence on composition (bM isreduced to a linear dependence if lij frac14 0) This functional form is notable to describe all mixtures and several works have proposeddifferent nonquadratic rules eg Wong and Sandler (1992) Adachiand Sugie (1986) Won (1983) and Higashi et al (1994) Someproposed models take into account the excess Gibbs energy atinfinite pressure calculated from a liquid-phase activity coefficientmodel (Huron and Vidal 1979 Michelsen 1990)

The present work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rulefor cubic equations of state that differs from vdW-MR once it mayconsider strong correlations following the lines of nonextensivestatistical mechanics (Tsallis 1988 Borges 2004 Moyano et al2006) through a nonquadraticity parameter qij

The work is organized as follows Section 2 introduces somebasic concepts of nonextensive statistical mechanics and intro-duces the semi-empirical model for the q-Mixing Rule (q-MR) Themethodology results and discussions appear in Section 3 andfinally Section 4 is dedicated to the conclusions

2 Nonextensive statistical mechanics

With the advent of the nonextensive statistical mechanics as ageneralization of the BoltzmannndashGibbs statistical mechanics it becameclear over the years that the new formalism was able to representcertain classes of systems that were not properly described byBoltzmannndashGibbs statistical mechanics Indeed since the original paper(Tsallis 1988) more than two decades ago many works have beendeveloped concerning nonlinear systems The generalized entropy is

Formal and logical arguments considering an analogy betweenEqs (8) and (7) have lead to the definition of generalized functions

The usual logarithmic and exponential functions are recovered in thelimit q-1

The maximization of the Tsallis entropy Eq (7) with theconstraint of constant generalized mean energy leads to thegeneralized canonical ensemble distribution (Tsallis 1988 Tsalliset al 1998)

where βq is the Lagrange parameter that is related to the inversetemperature Ei is the energy of the ith state and p(Ei) is theprobability of the state with energy Ei be occupied One of thecentral differences between Tsallis and Boltzmann weights is thatthe former presents power law tails (long-lasting for q41 andabruptly vanishing for qo1) while the latter has exponential tails

The difference between Boltzmann and Tsallis weights may be alsounderstood within the following comparison It is known that thepressure P of a hypothetical static isothermal ideal gas atmospherewith gradient given by dP=dhfrac14 mgρ decreases with height accord-ing to an exponential law (Halleys law see for instance Feynmanet al 1963) PethhTHORN frac14 P0expethmgh=kBTTHORN where P0 is the pressure atheight hfrac140 g is the gravitational acceleration A similar expressionholds for the number density ρ (number of moleculesvolume) Thenumerator of the exponent is the potential energy of a molecule withmass m and the denominator is its thermal energy Thermal equili-brium is a very strong simplifying hypothesis that certainly is not validto our atmosphere If we consider that the temperature linearlydecreases with height ie with a constant temperature gradientinstead of a zero temperature gradient mdash the second simplesthypothesis possible mdash then we find that the pressure decays asPethhTHORN frac14 P0 expqethmgh=kBT0THORN with qfrac14 1kBγ=gm and γ frac14 dT=dh isthe negative of the atmospheric temperature gradient Once P frac14 ρkBTand TethhTHORN frac14 T0γh ρethhTHORN frac14 ρ0frac12expqethmgh=kBT0THORN)q In both cases wehave a ratio between the potential and the thermal energies but in theformer we have an exponential law (Boltzmann weight) while in thelatter we have a q-exponential law (Tsallis weight) The case γ frac14 0recovers Halleys law

The introduction of the generalized q-logarithm and q-expo-nential functions has allowed the development of a consistentgeneralized nondistributive algebra based on the q-algebraicoperators (Nivanen et al 2003 Borges 2004) q-addition xqyq-difference x⊖qy q-product x+qy and q-ratio x⊘qy representedas

The present work is confined to mixtures rather than purecomponents and we focus on the mixing rules that are applied to

the parameters of cubic equations of state We have chosen thePengndashRobinson equation of state (Peng and Robinson 1976) but theexpressions for the mixing rules presented below in Section 21 mayequally be applied to other equations of state eg Soave equation ofstate (Soave 1972)

21 q-mixing rules

Within the pairwise additivity approximation with shortndashrangeinteractions the parameter aM of the mixture is considered as anaverage of the interactions between binaries weighted by the jointprobability of finding that particular pair of molecules together ie aM frac14

ered the joint probability of finding species i in the neighborhoodof species j is simply the product of finding i and j in the bulksolution that is represented by its molar fraction pij frac14 pipj xixjThus the quadratic nature of the mixing rule derives from thehypothesis of independence Deviation from this scenario isusually considered by the introduction of an additional parameterkij according to Eq (3) This structure preserves the quadraticnature ie the independence hypothesis The present modelfollows the procedure used in the generalization of the centrallimit theorem It considers the joint probability of stronglycorrelated systems (that may be a consequence of local inhomo-geneities long-range interactions or other features that leads tothe failure of the independence hypothesis) as the q-product of theindividual probabilities rather than the ordinary product (Tsallis2005 Tsallis et al 2005) The proposed q-Mixing Rule is

It can be seen that the PengndashRobinson equation of state with q-MR presents a good prediction of the phase behavior for allsystems with smaller deviations in the pressure than those usingvdW-MR

Deviations in the vapor phase concentration using PengndashRobin-son equation of state were small for both mixing rules Ref TenoacuterioNeto et al (2013) does not bring data for the vapor phase of thesystem CO2thornstyrene At low pressures the results calculated withq-MR for the system CO2thorn2ndashbutanol are better than those

calculated with vdW-MR however the predicted values by thesemodels for higher pressures are similar The results obtained for thesystems CO2thornacetic acid and CO2thornstyrene with q-MR are signifi-cantly better than with the conventional mixing rule by providingqualitatively correct predictions of pressure and vapor concentra-tion However both mixing rules show similar results for theCO2thornH2S system The q-MR is able to present a smooth inflectionfor the system CO2thornstyrene which is in agreement with the dataFigs 3ndash10 show pressurendashcomposition diagrams with comparisonbetween experimental data and calculated results for the consid-ered examples

Some pressurendashcomposition diagrams particularly Figs 3 4 and 7display an inflection point This change in the concavity is due to thestronger influence of interactions between molecules under highpressures and the ability of the q-MR model to represent thisbehavior is a consequence of the inflection point of the curves ofthe interaction parameter of the mixture aqM versus composition seeFig 1 and 2 Fig 11 shows the effect of the parameters q12 and k12 onthe inflection point It can be seen that as the parameter q12 departsfrom unit the difference in concavities becomes more pronouncedwhereas the parameter k12 is related to a shift of the curves

The q-MR model has two binary parameters while the originalvdW-MR has only one In order to make a unbiased comparison wehave implemented the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) (Akaike1974) that is a suitable tool for these situations It is defined as

AICi frac14 2log ethmaximum likelihoodTHORNthorn2ki eth22THORN

If the standard deviations σi are known and the residuals are normallydistributed the AIC is written as

AICi frac14 Foptob ethθTHORNthorn2kithorn2kiethkithorn1THORNnki1

eth23THORN

where ki is the number of parameters of the model i Nexp is thenumber of experiments and θopt is the set of optimal parameters (inour case parameters estimated for all temperatures as showed inTable 1) According to the Akaike procedure the more appropriatemodel among those that are being compared is that one which resultsin the lower AIC value The results are shown in Table 2 It is alsouseful to compare the relative AIC values and this is shown in the lastcolumn of the Table Values less than 1 indicate that the q-MR is betterthan vdW-MR All considered systems present relative AIC indexsmaller than 1 indicating that the improvement achieved by the q-MR is not simply due to the existence of an additional parameter

We have also considered the F-test as an additional criteriumfor discrimination between models with different numbers ofparameters (Ludden et al 1994 Motulsky and Christopoulos2004) The F-ratio is defined as

where dfqMR and dfvdWMR are the degrees of freedom(df i frac14Nki) of the equation of state with q-MR and the equationof state with vdW-MR respectively The calculated F-ratios areshowed in Table 3 and they are compared to the critical F-ratiostaken from the F-Distribution Table (with the same number ofdegrees of freedom) for three different values of significance levelαfrac14 001 005 and 01

4 Conclusions

This work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rule that is ageneralization of the usual quadratic mixing rule which is recoveredin a special limit qij-1 The q-mixing rule here introduced general-ized through the nonquadraticity parameter qij is free from theMichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome It is based on the q-product thatis able to reflect correlations Departures from the quadratic nature ofthe mixing rule as described by the q-mixing rule may be so strongas to present an inflection point in the graph of the parameter of themixture aqM as a function of composition This is distinctive from theoriginal parabolic mixing rule which has constant concavity Thisfeature is also responsible for the change in concavity in thepressurendashcomposition diagram specially at high pressures wheninteraction between molecules becomes more significant It is acommon practise to use the binary parameter kij with quadraticmixing rules to increase the fitting power of the models though thisparameter preserves the quadratic nature of the rule We also use theparameter k12 in our proposal Indeed it is essential in the presentmodel once it allows proper adjustment of the inflection point of themixing rule

We have used the PengndashRobinson equation of state in thepresented examples but the procedure can readily be applied tovirtually any cubic equation of state that uses mixing rules agrave la vander Waals

We have exemplified the usefulness of the proposed q-mixingrule with vaporndashliquid equilibrium calculations for binary systemscontaining carbon dioxide (CO2thorn2-butanol CO2thornethanol CO2thorn-styrene CO2thornacetic acid CO2thornH2S) and also for the mixturesethanolthornglycerol ethanethorndecane and ethylenethorn1-decanol Wehave used two procedures to compare the proposed model withthe usual one the Akaike Information Criterion and the F-test andthe q-MR has succeeded in all instances considered

The present work is confined to mixtures rather than purecomponents and we focus on the mixing rules that are applied to

the parameters of cubic equations of state We have chosen thePengndashRobinson equation of state (Peng and Robinson 1976) but theexpressions for the mixing rules presented below in Section 21 mayequally be applied to other equations of state eg Soave equation ofstate (Soave 1972)

21 q-mixing rules

Within the pairwise additivity approximation with shortndashrangeinteractions the parameter aM of the mixture is considered as anaverage of the interactions between binaries weighted by the jointprobability of finding that particular pair of molecules together ie aM frac14

Pijpijaij If independence between molecules is consid-

ered the joint probability of finding species i in the neighborhoodof species j is simply the product of finding i and j in the bulksolution that is represented by its molar fraction pij frac14 pipj xixjThus the quadratic nature of the mixing rule derives from thehypothesis of independence Deviation from this scenario isusually considered by the introduction of an additional parameterkij according to Eq (3) This structure preserves the quadraticnature ie the independence hypothesis The present modelfollows the procedure used in the generalization of the centrallimit theorem It considers the joint probability of stronglycorrelated systems (that may be a consequence of local inhomo-geneities long-range interactions or other features that leads tothe failure of the independence hypothesis) as the q-product of theindividual probabilities rather than the ordinary product (Tsallis2005 Tsallis et al 2005) The proposed q-Mixing Rule is

where qji frac14 qij qii frac14 1 and xi+qij xj is the q-product between thenon-negative numbers xi and xj The normalizing factorP

ijethxi+qij xjTHORN in the denominator of Eq (14) is necessary to avoidthe MichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome (Michelsen andKistenmacher 1990) The parameter qij radically changes the usualmixing rule it exhibits a nonquadratic dependence on the com-position (that is obviously recovered as qij-1) as can be seenbelow in Figs 1 and 2 This break with the quadratic dependenceon the composition in the mixing rule has led us to call qij asnonquadraticity parameter within the present context

Considering that the dependent variables yexp and Pexp areuncorrelated (yexp is the mole fraction of the vapor phase) and

assuming that the residuals are independent and normally dis-tributed with zero mean the parameters can be evaluated byminimizing the objective function

It can be seen that the PengndashRobinson equation of state with q-MR presents a good prediction of the phase behavior for allsystems with smaller deviations in the pressure than those usingvdW-MR

Deviations in the vapor phase concentration using PengndashRobin-son equation of state were small for both mixing rules Ref TenoacuterioNeto et al (2013) does not bring data for the vapor phase of thesystem CO2thornstyrene At low pressures the results calculated withq-MR for the system CO2thorn2ndashbutanol are better than those

calculated with vdW-MR however the predicted values by thesemodels for higher pressures are similar The results obtained for thesystems CO2thornacetic acid and CO2thornstyrene with q-MR are signifi-cantly better than with the conventional mixing rule by providingqualitatively correct predictions of pressure and vapor concentra-tion However both mixing rules show similar results for theCO2thornH2S system The q-MR is able to present a smooth inflectionfor the system CO2thornstyrene which is in agreement with the dataFigs 3ndash10 show pressurendashcomposition diagrams with comparisonbetween experimental data and calculated results for the consid-ered examples

Some pressurendashcomposition diagrams particularly Figs 3 4 and 7display an inflection point This change in the concavity is due to thestronger influence of interactions between molecules under highpressures and the ability of the q-MR model to represent thisbehavior is a consequence of the inflection point of the curves ofthe interaction parameter of the mixture aqM versus composition seeFig 1 and 2 Fig 11 shows the effect of the parameters q12 and k12 onthe inflection point It can be seen that as the parameter q12 departsfrom unit the difference in concavities becomes more pronouncedwhereas the parameter k12 is related to a shift of the curves

The q-MR model has two binary parameters while the originalvdW-MR has only one In order to make a unbiased comparison wehave implemented the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) (Akaike1974) that is a suitable tool for these situations It is defined as

AICi frac14 2log ethmaximum likelihoodTHORNthorn2ki eth22THORN

If the standard deviations σi are known and the residuals are normallydistributed the AIC is written as

AICi frac14 Foptob ethθTHORNthorn2kithorn2kiethkithorn1THORNnki1

eth23THORN

where ki is the number of parameters of the model i Nexp is thenumber of experiments and θopt is the set of optimal parameters (inour case parameters estimated for all temperatures as showed inTable 1) According to the Akaike procedure the more appropriatemodel among those that are being compared is that one which resultsin the lower AIC value The results are shown in Table 2 It is alsouseful to compare the relative AIC values and this is shown in the lastcolumn of the Table Values less than 1 indicate that the q-MR is betterthan vdW-MR All considered systems present relative AIC indexsmaller than 1 indicating that the improvement achieved by the q-MR is not simply due to the existence of an additional parameter

We have also considered the F-test as an additional criteriumfor discrimination between models with different numbers ofparameters (Ludden et al 1994 Motulsky and Christopoulos2004) The F-ratio is defined as

4 Conclusions

This work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rule that is ageneralization of the usual quadratic mixing rule which is recoveredin a special limit qij-1 The q-mixing rule here introduced general-ized through the nonquadraticity parameter qij is free from theMichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome It is based on the q-product thatis able to reflect correlations Departures from the quadratic nature ofthe mixing rule as described by the q-mixing rule may be so strongas to present an inflection point in the graph of the parameter of themixture aqM as a function of composition This is distinctive from theoriginal parabolic mixing rule which has constant concavity Thisfeature is also responsible for the change in concavity in thepressurendashcomposition diagram specially at high pressures wheninteraction between molecules becomes more significant It is acommon practise to use the binary parameter kij with quadraticmixing rules to increase the fitting power of the models though thisparameter preserves the quadratic nature of the rule We also use theparameter k12 in our proposal Indeed it is essential in the presentmodel once it allows proper adjustment of the inflection point of themixing rule

We have used the PengndashRobinson equation of state in thepresented examples but the procedure can readily be applied tovirtually any cubic equation of state that uses mixing rules agrave la vander Waals

We have exemplified the usefulness of the proposed q-mixingrule with vaporndashliquid equilibrium calculations for binary systemscontaining carbon dioxide (CO2thorn2-butanol CO2thornethanol CO2thorn-styrene CO2thornacetic acid CO2thornH2S) and also for the mixturesethanolthornglycerol ethanethorndecane and ethylenethorn1-decanol Wehave used two procedures to compare the proposed model withthe usual one the Akaike Information Criterion and the F-test andthe q-MR has succeeded in all instances considered

It can be seen that the PengndashRobinson equation of state with q-MR presents a good prediction of the phase behavior for allsystems with smaller deviations in the pressure than those usingvdW-MR

Deviations in the vapor phase concentration using PengndashRobin-son equation of state were small for both mixing rules Ref TenoacuterioNeto et al (2013) does not bring data for the vapor phase of thesystem CO2thornstyrene At low pressures the results calculated withq-MR for the system CO2thorn2ndashbutanol are better than those

calculated with vdW-MR however the predicted values by thesemodels for higher pressures are similar The results obtained for thesystems CO2thornacetic acid and CO2thornstyrene with q-MR are signifi-cantly better than with the conventional mixing rule by providingqualitatively correct predictions of pressure and vapor concentra-tion However both mixing rules show similar results for theCO2thornH2S system The q-MR is able to present a smooth inflectionfor the system CO2thornstyrene which is in agreement with the dataFigs 3ndash10 show pressurendashcomposition diagrams with comparisonbetween experimental data and calculated results for the consid-ered examples

Some pressurendashcomposition diagrams particularly Figs 3 4 and 7display an inflection point This change in the concavity is due to thestronger influence of interactions between molecules under highpressures and the ability of the q-MR model to represent thisbehavior is a consequence of the inflection point of the curves ofthe interaction parameter of the mixture aqM versus composition seeFig 1 and 2 Fig 11 shows the effect of the parameters q12 and k12 onthe inflection point It can be seen that as the parameter q12 departsfrom unit the difference in concavities becomes more pronouncedwhereas the parameter k12 is related to a shift of the curves

The q-MR model has two binary parameters while the originalvdW-MR has only one In order to make a unbiased comparison wehave implemented the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) (Akaike1974) that is a suitable tool for these situations It is defined as

We have also considered the F-test as an additional criteriumfor discrimination between models with different numbers ofparameters (Ludden et al 1994 Motulsky and Christopoulos2004) The F-ratio is defined as

4 Conclusions

This work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rule that is ageneralization of the usual quadratic mixing rule which is recoveredin a special limit qij-1 The q-mixing rule here introduced general-ized through the nonquadraticity parameter qij is free from theMichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome It is based on the q-product thatis able to reflect correlations Departures from the quadratic nature ofthe mixing rule as described by the q-mixing rule may be so strongas to present an inflection point in the graph of the parameter of themixture aqM as a function of composition This is distinctive from theoriginal parabolic mixing rule which has constant concavity Thisfeature is also responsible for the change in concavity in thepressurendashcomposition diagram specially at high pressures wheninteraction between molecules becomes more significant It is acommon practise to use the binary parameter kij with quadraticmixing rules to increase the fitting power of the models though thisparameter preserves the quadratic nature of the rule We also use theparameter k12 in our proposal Indeed it is essential in the presentmodel once it allows proper adjustment of the inflection point of themixing rule

We have used the PengndashRobinson equation of state in thepresented examples but the procedure can readily be applied tovirtually any cubic equation of state that uses mixing rules agrave la vander Waals

We have exemplified the usefulness of the proposed q-mixingrule with vaporndashliquid equilibrium calculations for binary systemscontaining carbon dioxide (CO2thorn2-butanol CO2thornethanol CO2thorn-styrene CO2thornacetic acid CO2thornH2S) and also for the mixturesethanolthornglycerol ethanethorndecane and ethylenethorn1-decanol Wehave used two procedures to compare the proposed model withthe usual one the Akaike Information Criterion and the F-test andthe q-MR has succeeded in all instances considered

assuming that the residuals are independent and normally dis-tributed with zero mean the parameters can be evaluated byminimizing the objective function

We have exemplified the usefulness of the proposed q-mixingrule with vaporndashliquid equilibrium calculations for binary systemscontaining carbon dioxide (CO2thorn2-butanol CO2thornethanol CO2thorn-styrene CO2thornacetic acid CO2thornH2S) and also for the mixturesethanolthornglycerol ethanethorndecane and ethylenethorn1-decanol Wehave used two procedures to compare the proposed model withthe usual one the Akaike Information Criterion and the F-test andthe q-MR has succeeded in all instances considered

It can be seen that the PengndashRobinson equation of state with q-MR presents a good prediction of the phase behavior for allsystems with smaller deviations in the pressure than those usingvdW-MR

Deviations in the vapor phase concentration using PengndashRobin-son equation of state were small for both mixing rules Ref TenoacuterioNeto et al (2013) does not bring data for the vapor phase of thesystem CO2thornstyrene At low pressures the results calculated withq-MR for the system CO2thorn2ndashbutanol are better than those

calculated with vdW-MR however the predicted values by thesemodels for higher pressures are similar The results obtained for thesystems CO2thornacetic acid and CO2thornstyrene with q-MR are signifi-cantly better than with the conventional mixing rule by providingqualitatively correct predictions of pressure and vapor concentra-tion However both mixing rules show similar results for theCO2thornH2S system The q-MR is able to present a smooth inflectionfor the system CO2thornstyrene which is in agreement with the dataFigs 3ndash10 show pressurendashcomposition diagrams with comparisonbetween experimental data and calculated results for the consid-ered examples

Some pressurendashcomposition diagrams particularly Figs 3 4 and 7display an inflection point This change in the concavity is due to thestronger influence of interactions between molecules under highpressures and the ability of the q-MR model to represent thisbehavior is a consequence of the inflection point of the curves ofthe interaction parameter of the mixture aqM versus composition seeFig 1 and 2 Fig 11 shows the effect of the parameters q12 and k12 onthe inflection point It can be seen that as the parameter q12 departsfrom unit the difference in concavities becomes more pronouncedwhereas the parameter k12 is related to a shift of the curves

The q-MR model has two binary parameters while the originalvdW-MR has only one In order to make a unbiased comparison wehave implemented the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) (Akaike1974) that is a suitable tool for these situations It is defined as

AICi frac14 2log ethmaximum likelihoodTHORNthorn2ki eth22THORN

If the standard deviations σi are known and the residuals are normallydistributed the AIC is written as

AICi frac14 Foptob ethθTHORNthorn2kithorn2kiethkithorn1THORNnki1

eth23THORN

where ki is the number of parameters of the model i Nexp is thenumber of experiments and θopt is the set of optimal parameters (inour case parameters estimated for all temperatures as showed inTable 1) According to the Akaike procedure the more appropriatemodel among those that are being compared is that one which resultsin the lower AIC value The results are shown in Table 2 It is alsouseful to compare the relative AIC values and this is shown in the lastcolumn of the Table Values less than 1 indicate that the q-MR is betterthan vdW-MR All considered systems present relative AIC indexsmaller than 1 indicating that the improvement achieved by the q-MR is not simply due to the existence of an additional parameter

We have also considered the F-test as an additional criteriumfor discrimination between models with different numbers ofparameters (Ludden et al 1994 Motulsky and Christopoulos2004) The F-ratio is defined as

Fratio frac14FvdWMRob ethθoptTHORNFqMR

ob ethθoptTHORN

FqMRob ethθoptTHORN

dfqMR

dfvdWMRdfqMR eth24THORN

where dfqMR and dfvdWMR are the degrees of freedom(df i frac14Nki) of the equation of state with q-MR and the equationof state with vdW-MR respectively The calculated F-ratios areshowed in Table 3 and they are compared to the critical F-ratiostaken from the F-Distribution Table (with the same number ofdegrees of freedom) for three different values of significance levelαfrac14 001 005 and 01

The greater the value of the F-ratio the greater the statisticalsignificance of the q-MR model compared to the vdW-MR modelOnly one system considered in the present work presented F-ratiosmaller than the critical F-ratio the calculated F-ratio for thesystem CO2thornacetic acid is slightly smaller than F-ratioα frac14 001

calculated with vdW-MR however the predicted values by thesemodels for higher pressures are similar The results obtained for thesystems CO2thornacetic acid and CO2thornstyrene with q-MR are signifi-cantly better than with the conventional mixing rule by providingqualitatively correct predictions of pressure and vapor concentra-tion However both mixing rules show similar results for theCO2thornH2S system The q-MR is able to present a smooth inflectionfor the system CO2thornstyrene which is in agreement with the dataFigs 3ndash10 show pressurendashcomposition diagrams with comparisonbetween experimental data and calculated results for the consid-ered examples

Some pressurendashcomposition diagrams particularly Figs 3 4 and 7display an inflection point This change in the concavity is due to thestronger influence of interactions between molecules under highpressures and the ability of the q-MR model to represent thisbehavior is a consequence of the inflection point of the curves ofthe interaction parameter of the mixture aqM versus composition seeFig 1 and 2 Fig 11 shows the effect of the parameters q12 and k12 onthe inflection point It can be seen that as the parameter q12 departsfrom unit the difference in concavities becomes more pronouncedwhereas the parameter k12 is related to a shift of the curves

The q-MR model has two binary parameters while the originalvdW-MR has only one In order to make a unbiased comparison wehave implemented the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) (Akaike1974) that is a suitable tool for these situations It is defined as

AICi frac14 2log ethmaximum likelihoodTHORNthorn2ki eth22THORN

If the standard deviations σi are known and the residuals are normallydistributed the AIC is written as

AICi frac14 Foptob ethθTHORNthorn2kithorn2kiethkithorn1THORNnki1

eth23THORN

where ki is the number of parameters of the model i Nexp is thenumber of experiments and θopt is the set of optimal parameters (inour case parameters estimated for all temperatures as showed inTable 1) According to the Akaike procedure the more appropriatemodel among those that are being compared is that one which resultsin the lower AIC value The results are shown in Table 2 It is alsouseful to compare the relative AIC values and this is shown in the lastcolumn of the Table Values less than 1 indicate that the q-MR is betterthan vdW-MR All considered systems present relative AIC indexsmaller than 1 indicating that the improvement achieved by the q-MR is not simply due to the existence of an additional parameter

We have also considered the F-test as an additional criteriumfor discrimination between models with different numbers ofparameters (Ludden et al 1994 Motulsky and Christopoulos2004) The F-ratio is defined as

Fratio frac14FvdWMRob ethθoptTHORNFqMR

ob ethθoptTHORN

FqMRob ethθoptTHORN

dfqMR

dfvdWMRdfqMR eth24THORN

where dfqMR and dfvdWMR are the degrees of freedom(df i frac14Nki) of the equation of state with q-MR and the equationof state with vdW-MR respectively The calculated F-ratios areshowed in Table 3 and they are compared to the critical F-ratiostaken from the F-Distribution Table (with the same number ofdegrees of freedom) for three different values of significance levelαfrac14 001 005 and 01

The greater the value of the F-ratio the greater the statisticalsignificance of the q-MR model compared to the vdW-MR modelOnly one system considered in the present work presented F-ratiosmaller than the critical F-ratio the calculated F-ratio for thesystem CO2thornacetic acid is slightly smaller than F-ratioα frac14 001

4 Conclusions

This work introduces a new nonquadratic mixing rule that is ageneralization of the usual quadratic mixing rule which is recoveredin a special limit qij-1 The q-mixing rule here introduced general-ized through the nonquadraticity parameter qij is free from theMichelsenndashKistenmacher syndrome It is based on the q-product thatis able to reflect correlations Departures from the quadratic nature ofthe mixing rule as described by the q-mixing rule may be so strongas to present an inflection point in the graph of the parameter of themixture aqM as a function of composition This is distinctive from theoriginal parabolic mixing rule which has constant concavity Thisfeature is also responsible for the change in concavity in thepressurendashcomposition diagram specially at high pressures wheninteraction between molecules becomes more significant It is acommon practise to use the binary parameter kij with quadraticmixing rules to increase the fitting power of the models though thisparameter preserves the quadratic nature of the rule We also use theparameter k12 in our proposal Indeed it is essential in the presentmodel once it allows proper adjustment of the inflection point of themixing rule

We have used the PengndashRobinson equation of state in thepresented examples but the procedure can readily be applied tovirtually any cubic equation of state that uses mixing rules agrave la vander Waals

We have exemplified the usefulness of the proposed q-mixingrule with vaporndashliquid equilibrium calculations for binary systemscontaining carbon dioxide (CO2thorn2-butanol CO2thornethanol CO2thorn-styrene CO2thornacetic acid CO2thornH2S) and also for the mixturesethanolthornglycerol ethanethorndecane and ethylenethorn1-decanol Wehave used two procedures to compare the proposed model withthe usual one the Akaike Information Criterion and the F-test andthe q-MR has succeeded in all instances considered
