Inductive Analysis

For a direct comparison of the individual attractive and repulsive terms of an intermolecular potential determined by the inductive analysis of themodynamic data with the same terms calculated by quantal methods it is desirable to carry out the analyses, in the first approximation, with an intermolecular potential of the form ø(R) = Pe−aR − A1/R6 − A2/R8. For mathematical convenience, in place of the above expression, two potential functions,andare considered, the first being taken to be adequate in the range of values of R between 0 and R0 (the minimum of the potential function) and the second, in the range from R0 to ∞. By dividing the problem in this way it is possible to find substitutions which permit the integration of the classical expression for the second virial coefficients (and other appropriate thermodynamic data) directly in terms of fairly simple series in | ψ0 |, R0, a and r. Finally it is pointed out that for such simple atoms or molecules as the rare gases, oxygen, nitrogen and methane r may be taken as 0·15 throughout, which considerably simplifies the application of the method to the experimental data.

The temperature dependence of parameter a = a(Tr) of the Redlich-Kwong-Soave equation of state was modified. To calculate the corresponding individual parameters, an effective algorithm applying the Newton method was proposed. The parameters were determined for 60 substances, and the new modification correlates saturated vapour pressures from the values of pr = 0.001 to pr = 1.0 with the accuracy which is usually better than 0.2% and is comparable with that attained in terms of the Wagner equation. The modification proposed is utilized above all when applying the equation of state to the calculation of vapour-liquid equilibrium.

This article begins by highlighting some of the ground-based studies emanating from NASA's Microgravity Protein Crystal Growth (PCG) program. This is followed by a more detailed discussion of the history of and the progress made in one of the NASA-funded PCG investigations involving the use of measured second virial coefficients (Bvalues) as a diagnostic indicator of solution conditions conducive to protein crystallization. A second application of measuredBvalues involves the determination of solution conditions that improve or maximize the solubility of aqueous and membrane proteins. These two important applications have led to several technological improvements that simplify the experimental expertise required, enable the measurement of membrane proteins and improve the diagnostic capability and measurement throughput.
