AbstractThe cross second virial coefficient $$B_{12}$$ B 12 for the interaction between water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO) was obtained with low uncertainty at temperatures from 200 K to 2000 K employing a new intermolecular potential energy surface (PES) for the H2O–CO system. This PES was fitted to interaction energies determined for about 58 000 H2O–CO configurations using high-level quantum-chemical ab initio methods up to coupled cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)]. The cross second virial coefficient $$B_{12}$$ B 12 was extracted from the PES using a semiclassical approach. An accurate correlation of the calculated $$B_{12}$$ B 12 values was used to determine the dilute gas cross isothermal Joule–Thomson coefficient, $$\phi _{12}=B_{12}-T(\mathrm {d}B_{12}/\mathrm {d}T)$$ ϕ 12 = B 12 - T ( d B 12 / d T ) . The predicted values for both $$B_{12}$$ B 12 and $$\phi _{12}$$ ϕ 12 agree reasonably well with the few existing experimental data and older calculated values and should be the most accurate estimates of these quantities to date.

Abstract The vapour-liquid coexistence collapse in the reduced temperature, Tr=T/Tc, reduced density, ρr= ρ/ρc, plane is known as a principle of corresponding states, and Noro and Frenkel have extended it for pair potentials of variable range. Here, we provide a theoretical basis supporting this extension and show that it can also be applied to short-range pair potentials where both repulsive and attractive parts can be anisotropic. We observe that the binodals of oblate hard ellipsoids for a given aspect ratio (κ=1/3) with varying short-range square-well interactions collapse into a single master curve in the Δ B*2--ρr plane, where Δ B*2= (B2(T)-B*2(Tc))/v0, B2 is the second virial coefficient, and v0 is the volume of the hard body. This finding is confirmed by both REMC simulation and second virial perturbation theory for varying square-well shells, mimicking uniform, equator, and pole attractions. Our simulation results reveal that the extended law of corresponding states is not related to the local structure of the fluid.

Equations of state based on intermolecular potentials are often developed about the Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential. Many of such EOS have been proposed in the past. In this work, 20 LJ EOS were examined regarding their performance on Brown’s characteristic curves and characteristic state points. Brown’s characteristic curves are directly related to the virial coefficients at specific state points, which can be computed exactly from the intermolecular potential. Therefore, also the second and third virial coefficient of the LJ fluid were investigated. This approach allows a comparison of available LJ EOS at extreme conditions. Physically based, empirical, and semi-theoretical LJ EOS were examined. Most investigated LJ EOS exhibit some unphysical artifacts.

Static light scattering is a popular physical chemistry technique that enables calculation of physical attributes such as the radius of gyration and the second virial coefficient for a macromolecule (e.g., a polymer or a protein) in solution. The second virial coefficient is a physical quantity that characterizes the magnitude and sign of pairwise interactions between particles, and hence is related to aggregation propensity, a property of considerable scientific and practical interest. Estimating the second virial coefficient from experimental data is challenging due both to the degree of precision required and the complexity of the error structure involved. In contrast to conventional approaches based on heuristic ordinary least squares estimates, Bayesian inference for the second virial coefficient allows explicit modeling of error processes, incorporation of prior information, and the ability to directly test competing physical models. Here, we introduce a fully Bayesian model for static light scattering experiments on small-particle systems, with joint inference for concentration, index of refraction, oligomer size, and the second virial coefficient. We apply our proposed model to study the aggregation behavior of hen egg-white lysozyme and human γS-crystallin using in-house experimental data. Based on these observations, we also perform a simulation study on the primary drivers of uncertainty in this family of experiments, showing in particular the potential for improved monitoring and control of concentration to aid inference.

AbstractA statistical theory is presented of the magnesium ion interacting with lysozyme under conditions where the latter is positively charged. Temporarily assuming magnesium is not noncovalently bound to the protein, I solve the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation accurately and uniformly in a perturbative fashion. The resulting expression for the effective charge, which is larger than nominal owing to overshooting, is subtle and cannot be asymptotically expanded at high ionic strengths that are practical. An adhesive potential taken from earlier work together with the assumption of possibly bound magnesium is then fitted to be in accord with measurements of the second virial coefficient by Tessier et al. The resulting numbers of bound magnesium ions as a function of MgBr$$_2$$ 2 concentration are entirely reasonable compared with densitometry measurements.

Abstract: The second virial coefficient B for low-dense 7Lithium (7Li) gas is calculated over a wide temperature range 1 K40000 K. In the ‘high’-T limit (600 K45000 K), the classical coefficient, Bcl, and the contribution of the first quantum-mechanical correction, Bqc, are computed from standard expressions, using a suitable binary potential. The classical coefficient, Bcl, together with the Boyle temperature, TB, are determined and their values are in good agreement with previous results. In addition, the interface between the classical and quantum regimes is systematically investigated. Furthermore, the calculation of the quantum-mechanical second virial coefficient, Bq, is evaluated using the Beth-Uhlenbeck formula in the temperature range 1 K500 K. A positive value of Bq indicates that the net interaction energy is repulsive, implying that the short-range repulsive forces dominate the long-range attractive forces. However, quite the opposite occurs for negative values of Bq, which are indicative of net attractive interaction. The general behavior of Bq is similar to the potential energy itself, such that the long-range attractive and the short-range repulsive potentials can be deduced from the measurements of Bq. Keywords: Second virial coefficient, Low-density Lithium-7 Gas, Short-range repulsive forces, Long-range attractive forces. PACS: 51.30.+i.

Background: The aim of this work is to propose an approach for estimating the Joule-Thomson coefficient as an important parameter necessary to the study of changes in fluid temperature at a given change in pressure at constant enthalpy. Objective: The analytical approach presented in this work is very appropriate for detailed studies of the Joule-Thomson inversion temperature at zero pressure for arbitrary temperature values. Methods: A new approach is suggested for the accurate determination of the Joule-Thomson inversion temperature at zero pressure using the virial coefficient of the Lennard-Jones (12-6) potential. Results: The usefulness and efficiency of the method are tested by application to various gase Ar, He,Ne,H2,O2,CO2CO,CH4,Xe, Kr,N2 and Air. The results obtained are in good agreement with other approximation and experimental data. Conclusion: The suggested formula enables correct and rapid calculation of the JT inversion temperature at zero pressure.
