Theoretical and Experimental Investigations of Fluctuation Thermodynamic Properties of Liquid Solutions: (Final Technical Report)

摘要

During the period of the contract, April 1985 to August 1988, fluctuation theory has been developed for analysis and application to strongly nonideal liquid mixtures including electrolytes. The objectives were (1) to complete a theoretical basis for properties of liquids that is rigorous and leads to useful correlations and (2) to establish a formulation and a data base for use in sensitive comparisons with models for strongly nonideal liquids. The results can be applied to process design for energy-related processes including fossil fuel recovery, high-pressure reaction and separation systems (e.g., coal conversion, petrochemical hydrogenation), energy storage devices, extraction and crystallization (e.g., hydrometallurgy), industrial waste processing and geologic systems for geothermal power production and mining.
