ABSTRACT
Lawal, A.S. and van der Laan, E.T., 1994. A partical molar fugacity coefficient useful for
changing mixing rules of cubic equation of state. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 95: 109-121.
A cubic equation of state (EOS) is used to develop a cohesive technique for the partial
molar fugacity coefficient of a component in a mixture. The technique simplifies the
determination of fugacity coefficients for any type of mixing rules by the introduction of a
differential operator and logarithmic transformation of a mixture property. The technique is
very attractive in that it introduces functional modifications into previously established
mixing rules of pressure-explicit equations of state, and offers a unique opportunity for a
unified fugacity routine in PUT packages and process simulation models. The technique
accommodates density-dependent mixing rules as well as non-cubic equations; any type of
mixing rule with varying levels of difficulty is admissible by the differential operator, without
starting the derivation of mixing fugacity coefficient afresh. Several mixture rules are
presented to show the judicous use of the differential operator for the partial fugacity
coefficient.
Keywords: theory, equations of state, cubic, mixing rules, fugacity coefficient, partial molar
property, phase equilibria.
INTRODUCTION
First introduced over ninety years ago as a substitute for the chemical
potential, the Lewis ( 1901) concept of fugacity is used more than ever
before in the formulation and solution of problems in phase and chemical-
reaction equilibria. In such problems, the calculation of fugacities from PvT
data necessarily involves differentiation with respect to the mole fraction
and an algebraic representation by means of an equation of state appears to

Equation (4) can be conveniently applied to any pressure-explicit equations
of state. By substituting eqn. (2) into eqn. (4) and performing integration by
parts (using the tables of integrals from the Handbook of Physics and
Chemistry, Beyer, 1980), the working form of the fugacity coefficient for a
single component is established:
In4 =ln(J;/P) =(Z-1)-ln(Z-B)-Q (5)

Equation (5) can be solved using the values of a and /3 that are listed in
Table 1. The fugacity coefficient, 4, in eqn. (4) can be used to define the
fugacity coefficient 4z of a component i in a mixture:
41=f;lx*P (6)
whereJ; denotes the fugacity of the component i. By analogy with eqn. (4),

Equation (8) is derived from the usual definition of partial molar quantities
by replacing mole numbers by mole fractions (Van Ness and Abbott, 1982;
Walas, 1985) and the partial differential operator, A,, which is usually
obscured in textbook derivations of partial molar quantities is thereby

Equation (12) can be applied to any equation of state using expressions
for U and au/ax,. The calculation is lengthy, but made clearer via the
introduction of Ai.
For reasons that will become apparent in later examples of the applica-
tion of the Ai, it is more convenient to consider U of eqn. (2) (by inspection
of eqn. (5)) as function of In 2, In A, In B, In yrn and In Pm. Applying the
chain rule and realizing that A, is a differential operator leads to the
following expression:
In 4i E In (J;/x,P) = U + Z( aU/&Z) Ailn 2 + A(ClU/aA) A, In A
+ B( 8 U/aB) A, In B + Y,,,(a U/ay,,-,) Ai In yrn
+P,&WW,) AJn Pm (13)
The third advantage of simplifying the quadratic expression of eqn. (2) is
obvious from eqn. (13): the mixing rules of parameters a,, b,, ym and Pm
have been separated through Ai. Equation ( 13) provides a more convenient
starting point for any level of mixing rules. Evaluation of Z(i3U/aZ),
A(a U/CIA), B(i3U/aB), ym( aU/8ym) and j?,(i3U/i3/?,) has been carried out
elsewhere; the detailed calculations can be obtained from the authors.
Equation ( 13) yields the following expression for the fugacity coefficient &
of a component in a mixture:
ln +I = In (J;/x,P) = (Z - 1) - In (Z -B) - Q - QAi In A
+(Q+Z-l)AilnB-(SG-WHB)A,lny,

The necessary (but of course not sufficient) condition for the correctness
of eqn. (14) is to ensure that in the limit of xi + 1, eqn. (14) reduces to
eqn. (5). The mixture fugacity coefficients of the VDWEOS, RKEOS and
PREOS are readily established from eqn. ( 13) because y = yrn and
B =Brn; consequently, A, In (y,) = Ai In (fim) = 0 because yrn and pm are
integer constants (see Table 1). By the same token, the fugacity co-
efficients of the listed equations in Table 1 can be established from
eqn. (13).
The majority of the mixing rules encountered in the use of EOS for the
computation of thermodynamic properties are discussed in this section.
Let us consider an application of A, in the geometric mixture rule:
(15)
This mixture property, s,, is transformed to
In s, = 2 In f xis_!‘* (16)
(i >
Application of the A, to eqn. ( 16) yields
(17)
The summation in eqn. (17) is over all the constituents including com-
ponent i. The resulting expression for the geometric mixing rule is
established:
A, In S, = 2[(SiIS,) 1’2- l] (18)
By the same token, the linear and quadratic mixing rules follow the
reasoning of eqn. ( 17) :
A, In a, = Ai In (11 C
~X,X~a.x)=2(~x,oi~la,- 1) I (20)
where a& = a ,/a (1 - &&). Notice that eqn. (20) reduces to the
geometric mixing rule when & = 0. Also, if Q, of eqn. ( 15) is set equal to
the arithmetic average, the double summation reduces to the linear rule of

For 5 > 3, the power mixing rule can be established from eqn. (21). The
application of the A, to the SWEOS, where CX,= 2y, = 1 + 30.1, and Pm = 30,)
yields
wn = glh (24)
where
A,lnw,=A,lng-Ajlnh=;

Mixing rules a,, a, and pm are of the form of eqn. (20) and the mixing
rule of eqn. (29) is of the form of eqn. (21); therefore the component
fugacity coefficients are readily written for eqn. (27). By using eqn. (14) as
a basis, the mixture fugacity coefficient for eqn. (27) is easily established for
the specified mixing rules:
ln(J./x,P) = (Z - 1){3[bi/b,]‘~3-2}-ln(Z -B) - Q[2&xka~~/a,
- 3(bi/b,) 1’3+2] + [S(G + 1) - WHB] -2(SG - WHB)
X (&xkaiklam) - (SK + wHB)(xkxkPik/Prn> (32)
where % =&&(l - Kik), ark =&k&&, bik =hkfi&. The
term (G + 1) of eqn. (32) results from the expression 2G + K =
G + (G + K); in accordance with the definitions of the parameters G and K
of eqn. (14), G + K = 1. The parameters of eqn. (32) (Q, S, G, I-I, K and W)
have been previously defined in eqn. (5) and ( 14). For the sake of complete-
ness, the parameters are represented by
Z + [a, + (a: + 4pm)o.53t
(33)
Z + [a, - (a; + 4/L>“.53z”

Notice in eqns. (32) -( 38) that yrn of eqn. (14) has been replaced by c(, in
accordance with the definition established in eqn. (3). Furthermore, any of
the mixing rules specified for eqn. (27) can be independently changed
without affecting the rest of the combining rules, as long as corresponding
terms are established for such a change from eqn. (14).
The implications of eqn. (8) go beyond the results and applications in this
paper. There is indeed a functional relation between mole fractions and
mole numbers of thermodynamic property m (and their derivatives):
m =m(nl,n,, , . .) =nm(x,,x*, . . .), where m = C,ni and x, =11,/n. Such a
relation has been extensively addressed by Van Ness and Abbott (1982) and
Walas (1985): Even though x, are not all independent, this in no way
compromises the validity of eqn. (8). Physically, it is impossible to vary just
one mole fraction, because Clxi = 1. Nonetheless, the mathematical opera-
tions represented by the derivatives of eqn. (8) are correct because they are
not based on an assumption that xi are independent. Consequently, it is not
necessary, although of course it is permissible, to eliminate one of the x,
terms in Z before applying eqn. (8). Van Ness and Abbott (1982, pp.
47-48) have provided a rationalized basis for the mathematical significance
of this claim.
In principle, the thermodynamic property m can represent any of the
molar properties A, G, H, Cr,, C,, U, S, Z, u, lnf, In 4, the isothermal com-
pressibility rc, the volume expansivity /I or density p. Since the properties
represented by m are intensive, at given T and P they are functions of
composition. Therefore, eqn. (8) is generally applicable to the thermody-
namic treatment of solutions of variable composition, including those
discussed by Abbott and Van Ness ( 1992) and Mollerup and Michelsen
(1992). Although eqn. (8) (d erived by replacing mole numbers by mole
fractions) is complementary to the approaches of mole number derivatives
reported by Topliss ( 1985), Abbott and Van Ness ( 1992) and Mollerup and
Michelsen (1992), the advantage of the mole fraction approach over the
mole number derivatives is the emergence of the partial differential opera-
tor, Aj (eqn. (9)). Consequently, the use of eqn. (9) for introducing
functional modifications of mixing rules in the expression for the fugacity
coefficients makes the approach of eqn. (8) more desirable for compositions
of mixtures expressed in terms of mole fractions (Walas, 1985; p. 118) than
the approaches based on mole number derivatives (Topliss, 1985; Mollerup
and Michelsen, 1992). However, in contrast to the paper by Mollerup and
Michelsen (1992), mole fractions rather than mole numbers are the indepen-
dent variables in eqn. (8). Since EOS mixing rules directly relate to mole
