Equations of State

Description

Calculate thermodynamic properties using the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) or Akinfiev-Diamond (AD) equations of state for aqueous species, or using a generic heat capacity equation for crystalline, gas, and liquid species.

Usage

  cgl(property = NULL, parameters = NULL, T = 298.15, P = 1)
  hkf(property = NULL, parameters = NULL, T = 298.15, P = 1,
    contrib = c("n", "s", "o"), H2O.props = "rho")
  AD(property = NULL, parameters = NULL, T = 298.15, P = 1, isPsat = TRUE)

Arguments

property

character, name(s) of properties to calculate

parameters

dataframe, species parameters as one or more rows from thermo()$OBIGT

T

numeric, temperature(s) at which to calculate properties (K)

P

numeric, pressure(s) at which to calculate properties (bar)

contrib

character, which contributions to consider in the revised HKF equations equations of state: (n)onsolvation, (s)olvation (the omega terms), or (o)rigination contributions (i.e., the property itself at 25 °C and 1 bar). Default is c("n","s","o"), for all contributions

H2O.props

character, properties to calculate for water

isPsat

logical, is this a calculation along the liquid-vapor saturation curve (Psat)?

Details

The equations of state permit the calculation of the standard molal properties of species as a function of temperature and pressure. The property argument is required and refers to one or more of G, H, S, Cp and V, and for aqueous species only, kT and E. The units of these properties are the first ones shown in the description for subcrt. The names of the properties are matched without regard to case.

hkf implements the revised HKF equations of state (Helgeson et al., 1981; Tanger and Helgeson, 1988; Shock and Helgeson, 1988). The equations-of-state parameters are a1, a2, a3, a4, c1, c2, omega and Z; the units of these parameters are as indicated for thermo$OBIGT, without the order of magnitude multipliers. Note that the equation-of-state parameter Z (appearing in the g-function for the temperature derivatives of the omega parameter; Shock et al., 1992) is taken from thermo()$OBIGT and not from the makeup of the species. H2O.props is an optional argument that lists the properties of water that should be returned; it is used by subcrt so that the time-consuming water calculations are only performed once.

The temperature and pressure derivatives of the omega parameter for charged species (where Z != 0, but not for the aqueous proton, H+) are calculated using the g- and f-functions described by Shock et al., 1992 and Johnson et al., 1992. If the IAPWS-95 or DEW equations are activated (see water), only the g-function (applicable to G), but not its derivatives (needed for H, S, Cp, and V), is calculated.

The parameters in the cgl equations of state for crystalline, gas and liquid species (except liquid water) include V, a, b, c, d, e, f and lambda. The terms denoted by a, b and c correspond to the Maier-Kelley equation for heat capacity (Maier and Kelley, 1932); the additional terms are useful for representing heat capacities of minerals (Robie and Hemingway, 1995) and gaseous or liquid organic species (Helgeson et al., 1998). The standard molal volumes (V) of species in these calculations are taken to be independent of temperature and pressure.

For both hkf and cgl, if at least one equations-of-state parameter for a species is provided, any NA values of the other parameters are reset to zero. If all equations-of-state parameters are NA, but values of Cp and/or V are available, those values are used in the integration of G, H and S as a function of temperature.

AD implements the Akinfiev-Diamond model for aqueous species (Akinfiev and Diamond, 2003). This model is activated by setting abbrv = "AD" in thermo()$OBIGT for a given aqueous species. The database must also include the corresponding gasesous species (with the same name or chemical formula).

Value

A list of length equal to the number of species (i.e., number rows of parameters). Each element of the list contains a dataframe, each column of which corresponds to one of the specified properties; the number of rows is equal to the number of pressure-temperature points. Furthermore, in hkf, the output is a list consisting of the above-described object (named aq) and a data frame of the calculated properties of water (named H2O).

Warning

The range of applicability of the revised HKF equations of state for aqueous species corresponds to the stability region of liquid water or the supercritical fluid with density greater than 0.35 g/cm3, and between 0 to 1000 °C and 1 to 5000 bar (Tanger and Helgeson, 1988; Shock and Helgeson, 1988). The hkf function does not check these limits and will compute properties as long as the requisite electrostatic properties of water are available. There are conceptually no temperature limits (other than 0 Kelvin) for the validity of the cgl equations of state. However, the actual working upper temperature limits correspond to the temperatures of phase transitions of minerals or to those temperatures beyond which extrapolations from experimental data become highly uncertain. These temperature limits are stored in the thermodynamic database for some minerals, but cgl ignores them; however, subcrt warns if they are exceeded.
