Additional information, which may be useful in analysis of the third law, is given in the Appendices. This short review is written to assist lecturers in selecting a strategy for teaching the third law of thermodynamics to engineering and science students.

For example, (70 to 90) % of the equipment and energy costs in modern chemical plants are related to separation and purification processes and they are designed largely on the basis of thermodynamic equilibrium. More importantly, new chemical engineering processes often involve multicomponent, non-ideal system, which can exhibit a variety of possible phase equilibria. Furthermore, the processes are often performed at pressures and temperatures near the critical point or near the phase boundary, which further complicates the solution of the phase equilibrium problem. Last, but not least, phase equilibria calculations are executed nowadays not only as stand-alone calculations, but also as a part of a more general simulation, synthesis or design case, performed by a process simulator, where they are run thousands of times. In these cases the reliability and robustness of phase equilibria calculations is of utmost importance since their failure at any stage will disrupt completely the solution process.","PeriodicalId":238681,"journal":{"name":"The Open Thermodynamics Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130992475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis was carried out considering polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as model substances, i.e. substances which contain only the aromatic AC and ACH groups, and for which reliable pure physical properties such as melting point, fusion enthalpy and molar volume are available in the literature. The solubility values predicted with the UNIFAC-based models were considerably better than those obtained with the solubility parameter approach. Particularly, the modified Dortmund UNIFAC model presented an appropriate functionality of solubility with temperature, and the extension of this model to other type of aromatic compounds also provided a satisfactory prediction of solubility data.","PeriodicalId":238681,"journal":{"name":"The Open Thermodynamics Journal","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128311619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, phase stability analysis, Gibbs free energy minimization and estimation of parameters in thermodynamic models are challenging global optimization problems involved in phase equilibrium calculations and modeling for both reactive and non-reactive systems. To date, many significant works have been performed in the area of global optimization, and several algorithms and computational contributions of global optimization have been used for solving these problems; global optimization methods used include both deterministic and stochastic algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review in the literature that focuses on the global optimization methods and their applications to phase equilibrium modeling and calculations. In this paper, we briefly describe selected deterministic and stochastic optimization algorithms, and then review their use for phase stability analysis, Gibbs free energy minimization and parameter estimation in phase equilibrium models. In short, we provide a general overview of global optimization for modeling and calculating the phase behavior of systems with and without chemical reactions including the prediction of azeotropes and critical points.","PeriodicalId":238681,"journal":{"name":"The Open Thermodynamics Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127615895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eng. Chem. Res. 49, 900-912, 2010, Ref. (1)) for the prediction of vapor pressure are investigated using a test set of 12 compounds from the n- alkane series. This test set is used to check the consistency of the parameter values of the Wagner and Riedel equations and the resulting vapor pressure values in the full range between the triple point and critical point. Inconsistency has been detected in the parameters of the commonly used version of the Riedel equation as well as the calculated vapor pressure values near the critical point, TR >0.9. Vapor pressures prediction studies are carried out for the cases of interpolation, short and long range extrapolation and using either the acentric factor (�), or number of C atoms (nC ), or the VEA1 descriptor in the TRC-QSPR equation. It is concluded that the prediction error is the lowest and within the experimental error limits over the entire temperature range, using the Wagner's equation andwithin the TRC-QSPR framework. Replacingby nC or by the descriptor VEA1 increases the prediction error, however good prediction accuracy is retained in the regions where experimental data are available for the predictive compounds. It is demonstrated that reliable vapor pressure predictions can be obtained using only nC for characterization of the target compound.","PeriodicalId":238681,"journal":{"name":"The Open Thermodynamics Journal","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123302770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
