The degree of dryness is the most important parameter that determines the state of a real gas and the thermodynamic properties of the working fluid in a two-phase region. This article presents a modified Redlich-Kwong-Aungier equation of state to determine the degree of dryness in the two-phase region of a real gas. Selected as the working fluid under study was CO2. The results were validated using the Span-Wanger equation presented in the mini-REFPROP program, the equation being closest to the experimental data in the CO2 two-phase region. For the proposed method, the initial data are temperature and density, critical properties of the working fluid, its eccentricity coefficient, and molar mass. In the process of its solution, determined are the pressure, which for a two-phase region becomes the pressure of saturated vapor, the volumes of the gas and liquid phases of a two-phase region, the densities of the gas and liquid phases, and the degree of dryness. The saturated vapor pressure was found using the Lee-Kesler and Pitzer method, the results being in good agreement with the experimental data. The volume of the gas phase of a two-phase region is determined by the modified Redlich-Kwong-Aungier equation of state. The paper proposes a correlation equation for the scale correction used in the Redlich-Kwongda-Aungier equation of state for the gas phase of a two-phase region. The volume of the liquid phase was found by the Yamada-Gann method. The volumes of both phases were validated against the basic data, and are in good agreement. The results obtained for the degree of dryness also showed good agreement with the basic values, which ensures the applicability of the proposed method in the entire two-phase region, limited by the temperature range from 220 to 300 K. The results also open up the possibility to develop the method in the triple point region (216.59K-220 K) and in the near-critical region (300 K-304.13 K), as well as to determine, with greater accuracy, the basic CO2 thermodynamic parameters in the two-phase region, such as enthalpy, entropy, viscosity, compressibility coefficient, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity coefficient for the gas and liquid phases. Due to the simplicity of the form of the equation of state and a small number of empirical coefficients, the obtained technique can be used for practical problems of computational fluid dynamics without spending a lot of computation time.
The most important parameters for determining the state of real gas and the thermodynamic properties of the working fluid in a pure liquid region are pressure, specific volume, enthalpy and entropy. The paper presents a modified Redlich-Kwong-Aungier equation of state for determining pressure, specific volume, enthalpy and entropy in the pure liquid phase of real gas. CO2 was selected as the studied working fluid. When solving this problem, the author identified the main parameters of liquid carbon dioxide thermo-dynamics with the least error in comparison with experimental data in a wide range from 220 K to 300 K. It is possible to calculate pressure, specific volume, density, enthalpy and entropy of liquid CO2 with the help of the proposed method, for which the initial data are temperature, density, critical properties, molar mass and acentric factor of the working fluid. In particular, a modified Redlich-Kwong-Aungier equation is used to calculate the pressure of the working fluid. The author proposes a correlation equation of the scale correction, which is used in the Redlich-Kwong-Aungier equation for CO2 in the region of pure liquid phase. The results obtained for the pressure, enthalpy and entropy of liquid CO2 showed good agreement with the basic values, which provides the application of the proposed method in the field of pure liquid CO2, limited by the temperature range from 220 K to 300 K. The simplicity of the equation of state and the small number of empirical coefficients allows to use this method to solve practical problems of computational gas dynamics without spending a lot of time on calculations.
The object of the research is carbon dioxide and its pressure distribution depending on the range of temperature and density in the region of the critical point. One of the most problematic areas of methods for finding thermodynamic parameters of a real gas is insufficient accuracy in calculations in the places of occurrence and rapid development of fluctuation phenomena, which are inherent in phase transitions of the first and second terms. For a more detailed and accurate description of the nature of the thermodynamic parameters in the region of the critical point, scaling and crossover equations of state were developed. Such equations, due to the presence of regular and scaling parts, allow describing the thermodynamic parameters of a real gas not only directly near the critical point, but also at some distance from it, maintaining a small error relative to experimental data. The article proposes an equation of state, which contains a scaling part described according to the rules of statistical physics, and a regular part in the form of a classical cubic equation of state. The equation is used to calculate the pressure of carbon dioxide in the region around the critical point from 300 K to 305 K. The article proposes a correlation equation for the scaling correction of the regular part (Redlich-Kwong-Aungier model) of the crossover equation of state, which is related to the scaling part the equation of state is a crossover function. The obtained results for the pressure in the critical region showed good agreement with the baseline data. The error relative to the experimental data is halved compared to the original model of the Redlich-Kwong-Aungier equation. The obtained results ensure the applicability of the proposed method in the temperature range from 300 K to 305 K. Due to the simplicity of the form of the regular equation of state and the small number of empirical coefficients for the large-scale equation of state, the obtained method can be used for practical problems of computational hydrodynamics without spending a lot of computing time.
