EOSregress: Regress Equations-of-State Parameters for Aqueous Species

Description

Fit experimental volumes and heat capacities using regression equations. Possible models include the Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) equations of state, or other equations defined using any combination of terms derived from the temperature, pressure and thermodynamic and electrostatic properties of water and/or user-defined functions of temperature and pressure.

Usage

EOSregress(exptdata, var = "", T.max = 9999)
  EOSvar(var, T, P)
  EOScalc(coefficients, T, P)
  EOSplot(exptdata, var = NULL, T.max = 9999, T.plot = NULL, 
    fun.legend = "topleft", coefficients = NULL)
  EOSlab(var, coeff = "")
  EOScoeffs(species, property)

Details

EOSregress uses lm to regress the experimental heat capacity or volume data in exptdata, which is a data frame with columns T (temperature in degrees Kelvin), P (pressure in bars), and Cp or V (heat capacity in cal/mol.K or volume in cm3/mol). Only data below the temperature of T.max are included in the regression. The regression formula is specified by a vector of names in var. The names of the variables can be any combination of the following (listed in the order of search): variables listed in the following table, any available property of water (e.g. V, alpha, QBorn), or the name of a function that can be found using get in the default environment (e.g. a function defined by the user in the global environment; the arguments of the function should be T and P; see example).

ll{ T $T$ (temperature) P $P$ (pressure) TTheta $(T-\Theta)$ ($\Theta$ = 228 K) invTTheta $1/(T-\Theta)$ TTheta2 $(T-\Theta)^2$ invTTheta2 $1/(T-\Theta)^2$ invPPsi $1/(P+\Psi)$ ($\Psi$ = 2600 bar) invPPsiTTheta $1/((P+\Psi)(T-\Theta))$ TXBorn $TX$ (temperature times $X$ Born function) drho.dT $d\rho/dT$ (temperature derivative of density of water) V.kT $V\kappa_T$ (volume times isothermal compressibility of water) }

EOSvar calculates the value of the variable named var (defined as described above) at the specified T (temperature in degrees Kelvin) and P (pressure in bars). This function is used by EOSregress to get the values of the variables used in the regression.

EOScalc calculates the predicted heat capacities or volumes using coefficients provided by the result of EOSregress, at the temperatures and pressures specified by T and P.

EOSplot takes a table of data in exptdata, runs EOSregress and EOScalc and plots the results. The experimental data are plotted as points, and the calculated values as a smooth line. The point symbols are filled circles where the calculated value is within 10% of the experimental value; open circles otherwise.

EOSlab produces labels for the variables listed above that can be used as.expressions in plots. The value of coeff is prefixed to the name of the variable (using substitute, with a multiplication symbol). For the properties listed in the table above, and selected properties listed in water, the label is formatted using plotmath expressions (e.g., with italicized symbols and Greek letters). If var is a user-defined function, the function can be given a label attribute to provide plotmath-style formatting; in this case the appropriate multiplication or division symbol should be specified (see example below).

EOScoeffs retrieves coefficients in the Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equations from the thermodynamic database (thermo$obigt) for the given aqueous species. If the property is Cp, the resulting data frame has column names of (Intercept), invTTheta2 and TX, respectively holding the coefficients $c_1$, $c_2$ and $\omega$ in the equation $Cp^\circ = c_1 + c_2/(T-\Theta)^2 + {\omega}TX$. If the property is V, the data frame has column names of (Intercept), invTTheta and Q, respectively holding the coefficients $\sigma$, $\xi$ and $-\omega$ in $V^\circ = \sigma + \xi/(T-\Theta) - {\omega}Q$.

The motivation for writing these functions is to explore alternatives or possible modifications to the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equations applied to aqueous nonelectrolytes. As pointed out by Schulte et al., 2001, the functional forms of the equations do not permit retrieving values of the solvation parameter ($\omega$) that closely represent the observed trends in both heat capacity and volume at high temperatures (above ca. 200 $^{\circ}$C).
