The interaction second virial coefficients of the mixtures Ar/CO, Ar/N2, Ar/O2, Ne/CO, Ne/N2, and Ne/O2 were measured from 296 K to 463 K, utilizing the expansion method and the temperature changing method. Improvements in the previously described apparatuses reduced systematical errors and provided more accurate measurements of the coefficients. The experimental data were compared to calculations of interaction second virial coefficients based on modern potential energy surfaces. None of the previously reported potential energy surfaces was sufficient to account for the measured interaction second virial coefficients over our experimental temperature range from 296 K to 463 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
