1.1 Introduction

Heat capacities belong to the most important thermophysical properties ofmatter: they are intimately related to the temperature dependence of funda-mental thermodynamic functions; they may be determined in the laboratorywith great accuracy; and they are of key importance for linking thermo-dynamics with microscopic fluid structure and dynamics, as evidenced by thecontributions to this book. They are thus indispensable in physical chemistry aswell as in chemical engineering. For instance, as a classical example, considerthe standard entropies of liquids at T ¼ 298.15K. They are evaluated fromexperimental heat capacities at constant pressure from low temperatures to298.15 K and entropies of phase changes in between (assuming applicability of

the third law of thermodynamics). The measured heat capacity of an organiccompound can usually be extrapolated to 0K by fitting a Debye heat capacityfunction to the experimental values at, say, 10K.The nature and the size of this monograph’s topic make it impractical to cover

the entire subject in one volume. As indicated in the title, the focus will be on heatcapacities of chemically non-reacting liquids, solutions and vapours/gases(though polymers and liquid crystals are also covered). The individual specialisedchapters have been written by internationally renowned thermodynamicists/thermophysicists active in the respective fields. Because of their topical diversity,in this introductory chapter I shall try to summarise concisely the major aspectsof the thermodynamic formalism relevant to fluid systems, to clarify, perhaps,some points occasionally obscured, to indicate some ramifications into neigh-bouring disciplines, and to point out a few less familiar yet potentially interestingproblems. The omission of any topic is not to be taken as a measure of itsimportance, but is predominantly a consequence of space limitations.Calorimetric determinations of heat capacities of liquids have a long tradi-

tion, and many distinguished scientists have contributed to this subject. Onecan only marvel about the careful work of some of the early researchers, such asEucken and Nernst,1,2 who developed precursors of modern, adiabatic calori-meters. The adiabatic method for heat capacity measurements at low tem-peratures was pioneered by Cohen and Moesveld,3 and Lange,4 and becamewidely used. Indeed, during the following decades, many alternative designs ofincreasing sophistication have been devised and successfully used. A selectionof adiabatic calorimeters which were described in the literature up to about1970 is provided by references 5 through 19. For details, the interested readershould consult the classic IUPAC monograph edited by McCullough andScott,20 or the more recent ones edited by Marsh and O’Hare,21 and byGoodwin, Marsh and Wakeham,22 or the monograph on calorimetry byHemminger and Hohne.23

More specialised reviews have been prepared by Lakshmikumar and Gopal,24

Wadso25 and Gmelin.26 A monograph focusing on differential scanningcalorimetry has been presented by Hohne, Hemminger and Flammersheim.27

To date, the most widely used instruments for measuring heat capacities ofliquids and liquid mixtures are based on the differential flow calorimeterdesigned by Picker,28,29 which was commercialised by Setaram. Because of theabsence of a vapour space, differential flow calorimeters are particularly useful.They may be fairly easily modified to be used at elevated temperatures andpressures, including the critical region. The first instrument of this type wasconstructed by Smith-Magowan and Wood,30 with improved versions beingdue to White et al.,31 and Carter and Wood.32 However, comparison of heatcapacities measured by different types of flow calorimeters and differentialthermopile conduction calorimeters shows small differences in measured heatcapacities, which are attributed to conductive and convective heat losses.Conductive heat losses, the principal problem in flow calorimetric heat capacitymeasurements on liquids, have recently been analysed by Hei and Raal33 for afive-zone model calorimeter.

Because of the importance of heat capacity data of liquids in chemicalthermodynamics and chemical engineering, numerous critical data compila-tions have been published – starting at the end of the nineteenth century withBerthelot’s Thermochimie,34 and including such well-known publications as theInternational Critical Tables,35 Timmermans’ Physicochemical Constants ofPure Organic Compounds,36 Landolt-Bornstein,37 and Daubert and Danner’sPhysical and Thermodynamic Properties of Pure Chemicals: Data Compilation,DIPPRs Database.38 The most recent and the most comprehensive compila-tion of critically evaluated heat capacity data of pure liquids is the monographon Heat Capacities of Liquids: Volumes I and II. Critical Review and Recom-mended Values, authored by Zabransky et al. (1996),39 with Supplement I of2001.40 This monograph also contains a valuable survey of calorimetric tech-niques for determining heat capacities of liquids, and useful comments onterminology and criteria for the classification of calorimeters.As concerns heat capacity data of mixtures, the situation is somewhat less

satisfactory. Critically selected excess molar heat capacities at constant pressureof binary liquid organic mixtures have been included in the International DATASeries, SELECTED DATA ON MIXTURES, Series A,41 and the DortmundData Bank (DDB) contains a large number of data sets on heat capacities ofmixtures/excess heat capacities.42 However, a monograph devoted to a rea-sonably comprehensive compilation of heat capacity data of liquid mixtures,though highly desirable, is not available.For more than a century, experimental studies of real-gas behaviour at

low or moderate densities, have held a prominent position in physical chem-istry. They were motivated, and still are, either by the need to solve practicalproblems – such as those encountered in the reduction of vapour–liquidequilibrium data – or by their usefulness as valuable sources of informationon intermolecular interactions in both pure gases/vapours and gaseous mix-tures. In this context, perfect-gas (ideal-gas) state heat capacities are ofcentral importance, say, in the calculation of property changes of single-phase,constant-composition fluids for any arbitrary change of state. They may bedetermined by vapour-flow calorimetry, or by speed-of-sound measurements.The statistical–mechanical calculation of perfect-gas state heat capacities(they are 1-body properties which do not depend on molecular interactions)has reached a high level of sophistication, with obvious great practicaladvantages. For instance, the calculations readily allow extension of experi-mental data to temperature ranges currently inaccessible to measurement.Data compilations of heat capacities of pure substances in the perfect-gas(ideal-gas) state may be found in Selected Values of Physical and Thermo-dynamic Properties of Hydrocarbons and Related Compounds,43 Landolt-Bornstein,37 in Stull, Westrum and Sinke’s The Chemical Thermodynamics ofOrganic Compounds,44 in the TRC Thermodynamic Tables,45 in the book byFrenkel et al.,46 and in the NIST-JANAF Thermochemical Tables.47 Oneshould always keep in mind, however, that only comparison of experi-mental with calculated values leads to better approximations and/or newconcepts.

1.2 Thermodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications

To set the scene for this monograph, a few selected basic thermodynamicrelations will be summarised below. For further aspects and details the inter-ested reader should consult a textbook close to his/her taste, perhaps one ofthose listed in references 48 through 58.Convenient starting points are the fundamental property equations (also

called the Gibbs equations) of a single-phase PVT system, either open or closed,where P denotes the pressure, V is the molar volume and T is the thermo-dynamic temperature. No electric, magnetic or gravitational fields are con-sidered in such a simple system. For a multicomponent system, where the totalamount of substance is given by n ¼

Pi

ni, with ni being the amount of sub-

stance of component i, the fundamental property equation in the energyrepresentation is

dðnUÞ ¼ TdðnSÞ � PdðnVÞ þXi

Here, U is the molar internal energy, S is the molar entropy of the fluid.The intensive parameter furnished by the first-order partial derivativesof the internal energy with respect to the amount of substance of compo-nent i,

is called the chemical potential of component i. Its introduction extends thescope to the general case of a single-phase system in which the ni may vary,either by exchanging matter with its surroundings (open system) or by changesin composition occurring as a result of chemical reactions (reactive system) orboth. Corresponding to Equations (1) and (2), the primary functions (or car-dinal functions, or Euler equations) are

in the energy representation, and

In both the energy and entropy representations the extensive quantities arethe mathematically independent variables, while the intensive parameters arederived, which situation does not conform to experimental practice. The choiceof nS and nV as independent variables in the fundamental property equation inthe energy representation is not convenient, and Equation (4) suggests thedefinition of useful alternative energy-based primary functions. The appro-priate method for generating them without loss of information is the Legendretransformation. These additional equivalent primary functions are the molarenthalpy

H ¼ U þ PV ð6Þ

the molar Helmholtz energy

F ¼ U � TS ð7Þ

and the molar Gibbs energy

G ¼ H � TS ð8Þ

Substituting for U in Equation (6) from Equation (4) yields the alternative form

H ¼ TS þXi

ximi ð9Þ

where xi¼ ni/n is the mole fraction. Substitution of U in Equation (7) yields

F ¼ �PV þXi

ximi ð10Þ

as alternative grouping, and substitution of U in Equation (8) yields the Eulerequation as

G ¼Xi

The alternative primary functions H, F and G allow the development ofalternative energy-based fundamental property equations:

The four fundamental equations presented so far are equivalent; however, eachis associated with a different set of canonical variables {nS, nV, ni}, {nS, P, ni},{T, nV, ni} and {T, P, ni}.A primary function which arises naturally in statistical mechanics is the

grand canonical potential. It is the Legendre transform when simultaneouslythe entropy is replaced by the temperature and the amount of substance by thechemical potential:

J ¼ U � TS �Xi

ximi ð15Þ

with the alternative form

J ¼ �PV ð16Þ

and the corresponding Gibbs equation

dðnJÞ ¼ �ðnSÞdT � PdðnVÞ �Xi

nidmi ð17Þ

with the canonical variables {T, nV, mi}.The complete Legendre transform vanishes identically for any system. The

complete transform of the internal energy replaces all extensive canonicalvariables by their conjugate intensive variables, thus yielding the null-function

0 ¼ U � TS þ PV �Xi

ximi ð18Þ

as final alternative primary function in the energy representation. This propertyof the complete Legendre transform gives rise to

0 ¼ �ðnSÞdT þ ðnVÞdP�Xi

nidmi ð19Þ

as the corresponding alternative form of the fundamental property equation. Itrepresents an important relation between the intensive parameters T, P and miof the system and shows that they are not independent of each other.While the extensive parameters of a simple phase are independent of each

other, the conjugate intensive parameters are not, as shown above. For a givenphase, the number of intensive parameters which may be varied independentlyis known as the number of thermodynamic degrees of freedom.Treating the sum

mini as a single term, the total number of equivalent pri-mary functions and therefore the total number of equivalent fundamental prop-erty equations for a thermodynamic system is 2k. Thus for nU¼ nU(nS, nV, n)

there are but eight distinct equivalent primary functions [nU, Equation (4), plusseven alternatives] and eight distinct forms of the fundamental equation [d(nU),Equation (1), plus seven alternatives]. Of the seven Legendre transforms of theinternal energy, five have been treated above (including the null-function). Theremaining two, X ¼ U �

ximi, with the alternative

forms X¼TS�PV and Y¼TS, respectively, have not received separate symbolsor names. The corresponding fundamental property equations are dðnXÞ ¼TdðnSÞ � PdðnVÞ �

Since all the fundamental property equations are equivalent, alternativeexpressions for the chemical potential are possible, of which

ð20Þ

is the preferred one, because temperature and pressure are by far the mostuseful experimental parameters. We recognise that the chemical potential ofcomponent i is just the partial molar Gibbs energy of i,

mi ¼ Gi ð21Þwhich quantity is of central importance in mixture/solution thermodynamics.For a homogeneous fluid of constant composition, the following four energy-

based fundamental property relations apply:

dU ¼ TdS � PdV ð22Þ

dH ¼ TdS þ VdP ð23Þ

dF ¼ �SdT � PdV ð24Þ

Evidently, also the intensive parameters 1/T, P/T and mi/T in the entropyrepresentation are not independent of each other.Equations (22) through (25) are exact differentials, whence application of the

Two heat capacities are in common use for homogeneous fluids.

At this juncture it is convenient to introduce, by definition, a few auxiliaryquantities commonly known as the mechanical and the isentropic coefficients.Specifically, these are the isobaric expansivity

the isothermal compressibilityw

and the isentropic compressibilityw (often loosely called adiabatic compressibility)

bS ¼ �V�1 @V=@Pð ÞS ¼ r�1 @r=@Pð ÞS ð52Þ

where r¼M/V is the density and M is the molar mass.Note that

gV ¼ aP=bT ð53Þ

The isentropic compressibility is related to the thermodynamic low-frequencyspeed of ultrasound n0 (negligible dispersion) by

bS ¼ 1=rv20 ð54Þ

The ratio of the heat capacities and their difference may now be presented inseveral compact forms, where the most profitable are given below:

critical point, where gV is much smaller). Thus most of the isochoric heatcapacity data for liquids reported in the literature have been obtained indirectlythrough the use of Equations (55) and (56), that is to say from experimentalmolar isobaric heat capacities, isobaric expansivities and ultrasonic speeds.However, see for instance reference 59. Since also

bT=bS ¼ k ð59Þ

Equations (54), (56) and (59) may be used for the indirect determination ofisothermal compressibilities from densities, isobaric expansivities, ultrasonicspeeds and molar isobaric heat capacities. All these quantities may now be reli-ably and accurately measured, whence the indirect method for determining theisothermal compressibility of liquids has become an attractive alternative to thedirectmethod of applying hydrostatic pressure and measuring the correspondingvolume change. For the difference between bT and bS one obtains, for instance,

bT � bS ¼ TVa2P�CP ð60Þ

A convenient way to derive the volume or pressure dependence of the heatcapacities is via the differentiation of the appropriate Gibbs–Helmholtz equa-tions. Starting from

ð@U�@VÞT ¼ �Pþ Tð@P=@TÞV ¼ �Pþ TgV ð61Þ

ð@H=@PÞT ¼ V � Tð@V=@TÞP ¼ V � TVaP ð62Þ

these equations lead to

V¼ T @gV=@Tð ÞV ð63Þ

@CP=@Pð ÞT ¼ �T @2V�@T2

P¼ �TV a2P þ @aP=@Tð Þp

h ið64Þ

The pressure or volume dependence of the heat capacities may thus be deter-mined from PVT data.The molar thermodynamic properties of homogeneous constant-composi-

tion fluids are functions of temperature and pressure, e.g.

For real gases, the temperature Ti (atthe inversion pressure Pi) where TiaP ¼ 1 is called the inversion temperature. Atthat point the isenthalpic exhibits a maximum: for initial pressures PoPi, mJT 40, and the temperature of the gas always decreases on throttling; for initialpressures P 4 Pi, mJTo0, and the temperature of the gas always increases onthrottling. The maxima of the enthalpics form a locus known as the inversioncurve of the gas. There exists a maximum inversion temperature at P ¼ 0. Forpressures above the maximum inversion pressure, mJT is always negative.Because of Equation (67) one obtains, for instance, for the isentropic com-

Since aP of gases is always positive, the temperature always increases withisentropic compression and decreases with isentropic expansion.In principle, the exact methods of classical thermodynamics are the most

general and powerful predictive tools for the calculation of property changes ofsingle-phase, constant-composition fluids for any arbitrary change of state, say,from (T1,P1) to (T2,P2). For a pure fluid, the corresponding changes of molarenthalpy DH � H2 – H1 and molar entropy DS � S2 – S1 are, respectively,

where HR and SR are the molar residual enthalpy and the molar residualentropy, respectively, in (T,P)-space, and Cpg

P ¼ CpgP (T) is the molar heat

capacity at constant pressure of the fluid in the perfect-gas (ideal-gas) state. Thegeneral definition for such molar residual properties isMR�M�Mpg, whereMis the molar value of any extensive thermodynamic property of the fluid at(T,P), and Mpg is the molar value of the property when the fluid is in theperfect-gas state at the same T and P. Given any volume-explicit equation ofstate, these residual functions may be calculated from

respectively. Thus, application of Equations (75) and (76) requires PVT infor-mation for the real fluid as well as its isobaric heat capacity in the perfect-gasstate. We note that one may also define residual functions in (T,V)-space: Mr

quantities are frequently used. The differences between these two sets are theconfigurational properties of the perfect gas, and for U and CV they vanish.In actual practice, this approach would be severely limited by the availability

of reliable data for pure fluids and mixtures. The experimental determination ofsuch data is time-consuming and not simple, and does not impart the glamourassociated with, say, spectroscopic studies. Fortunately, statistical–mechanicalcalculations for Cpg

P are quite dependable for many substances, and so aregroup-contribution theories, for instance the techniques based on the work byBenson and co-workers.62,63

The search for generalised correlations applicable to residual functions hasoccupied scientists and engineers for quite some time. The most successful onesare based on versions of generalised corresponding-states theory, which isgrounded in experiment as well as statistical mechanics. The three-parametercorresponding states correlations, pioneered by Kenneth Pitzer and co-work-ers,64–67 have been capable to predict satisfactorily the PVT behaviour ofnormal, nonassociating fluids. They showed that the compression factors ofnormal fluids may be satisfactorily expressed as

Z ¼ Zð0ÞðTr;PrÞ þ oZð1ÞðTr;PrÞ ð79Þ

where

o � �1� log10 Ps;rð ÞTr¼0:7 ð80Þ

is Pitzer’s acentric factor, Tr ¼ T/Tc is the reduced temperature, Pr ¼ P/Pc isthe reduced pressure, Ps,r ¼ Ps/Pc is the reduced vapour pressure, here eval-uated at Tr ¼ 0.7, Ps is the vapour pressure of the substance, Tc is the criticaltemperature of the substance and Pc is its critical pressure. In fact, this methodis a thermodynamic perturbation approach where the Taylor series is truncatedafter the term linear in o. The generalised Z(0) function is the simple-fluidcontribution and applies to spherical molecules like argon and krypton, whoseacentric factors are essentially zero. The generalised Z(1) function (deviationfunction) is determined through analysis of high-precision PVT data of selectednormal fluids where oa0. One of the best of the generalised Pitzer-type cor-responding-states correlations for Z(0), Z(1) and the derived residual functions isdue to Lee and Kesler.68

An alternative to the direct experimental route to high-pressure PVT dataand CP(T,P) is to measure the thermodynamic speed of ultrasound v0 as afunction of P and T (at constant composition), and to combine these results, inthe spirit of Equations (50), (54) and (60) with data at ordinary pressure, sayP1 ¼ 105 Pa, i.e. r(T,P1) and CP(T,P1). For a pure liquid, upon integration atconstant temperature, one obtains69,70

The first integral is evaluated directly by fitting the ultrasonic speed data withsuitable polynomials, and for the second integral several successive integrationalgorithms have been devised. The simplicity, rapidity and precision of thismethod makes it highly attractive for the determination of the density, isobaricexpansivity, isothermal compressibility, isobaric heat capacity and isochoricheat capacity of liquids at high pressures. Details may be found in the appro-priate chapters of this book, and in the original literature.From experimentally determined heat capacities of liquids, relatively simple

models have been used to extract information on the type of motion executedby molecules in the liquid state. In general, they are based on the separability ofcontributions due to translation, rotation, vibration and so forth. Though noneof them is completely satisfactory, they have provided eminently useful insightsand thereby furthered theoretical advances. Following the early work ofEucken,71 Bernal,72 Eyring,73 Stavely,74 Moelwyn-Hughes,75 Kohler,18,76

Bondi77 and their collaborators, one may resolve the molar heat capacity CV ofsimple, nonassociated liquids into the following contributions:78,79

CV ¼ Ctr þ Crot þ Cint þ Cor ð82Þ

The translational (tr) contribution arises from the motion of the moleculesunder the influence of all molecules (translational movement within theirrespective free volumes), the rotational (rot) contribution arises from rotationor libration of the molecules as a whole, the internal (int) contribution arisesfrom internal degrees of freedom, and the orientational (or) contribution, fordipolar substances, results from the change of the dipole–dipole orientationalenergy with temperature. Cint can be subdivided into a part stemming fromvibrations (Cvib) which usually are not appreciably influenced by densitychanges (i.e. by changes from the liquid to the perfect-gas state), and anotherpart, Cconf, resulting from internal rotations (conformational equilibria), whichdoes depend on density. Preferably, all these contributions to CV are discussedin terms of residual quantities in (T,V)-space.78,79 The residual molar isochoricheat capacity of a pure liquid is defined by

CrV � CVðT ;VÞ � C

pgV ðTÞ ð83Þ

For liquids composed of fairly rigid molecules, such as tetrachloromethane,benzene or toluene, to an excellent approximation Cr

intE 0, whence

CrV ¼ Cr

tr þ Crrot ð84Þ

where Crtr ¼ Ctr–3R/2, and Cr

rot ¼ Crot–3R/2, for nonlinear molecules, repre-sents the excess over the perfect-gas phase value due to hindered rotation in theliquid of the molecules as a whole. Using corresponding states arguments toobtain reasonable estimates for Cr

tr, values for the residual molar rotationalheat capacity Cr

rot may be obtained, which quantity may then be discussed interms of any suitable model for restricted molecular rotation.61,78,79

The resolution of the variation of CV of pure liquids along the orthobariccurve (subscript s), i.e. for states (T, Ps), into the contributions due to theincrease of volume and to the increase of temperature, respectively, is a highlyinteresting problem.78–80 It is important to realise that due to the close packingof molecules in a liquid, even a rather small change of the average volumeavailable for their motion may have a considerable impact on the moleculardynamics: volume effects may become more important in influencing molecularmotion in the liquid state than temperature changes. Since

evaluation of (qCV/qT)V requires knowledge of the second term of the right-hand side of Equation (85). At temperatures below the normal boiling point,the saturation expansivity as ¼ V�1(qV/qT)s is practically equal to aP of theliquid [see below, Equation (109)]. In principle, the quantity (qCV/qV)T isaccessible via precise PVT measurements, see Equation (63), but measurementsof (q2P/qT2)V are not plentiful. Available data70,81 indicate that it is small andnegative for organic liquids, that is to say, CV decreases with increasing volume.Alternatively, one may use18,78,79

This equation holds remarkably well up to pressures of several hundred bars,and for many liquid nonelectrolytes m E 10. For liquid tetrachloromethane at298.15K,78 the calculated value of (qCV/qV)T amounts to –0.48 JK�1 cm�3, forcyclohexane78 –0.57 JK�1 cm�3 is obtained, and for 1,2-dichloroethane83 it is�0.60 JK�1 cm�3. These results indicate a substantial contribution of (qCV/qV)TVas to the change of CV along the orthobaric curve as well as to thecorresponding change of Cr

Usually, the second term in parenthesis on the right-hand side of Equation (88)is positive and the third term is negative; the fourth term may contributepositively or negatively. Thus k may increase or decrease with temperature.The importance of the heat capacity in the perfect-gas state has been stressed

repeatedly. Flow calorimetry is a commonly used method for measuring CP ofgases and vapours,84 and allows straightforward extrapolation to zero pres-sure85 to obtain Cpg

This relation is of considerable importance for obtaining virial coefficients (ofvapours) in temperature regions where conventional measuring techniques aredifficult to apply. The isothermal Joule–Thomson coefficient of steam, themost important vapour on earth, was recently reported by McGlashan andWormald88 in the temperature range 313 K to 413 K, and values of j0 derivedfrom these measurements were compared with results from the 1984 NBS/NRCsteam tables,89 with data reported by Hill and MacMillan,90 and with valuesderived from the IAPWS-95 formulation for the thermodynamic properties ofwater.91

The thermodynamic speed of ultrasound (below any dispersion region) isrelated to the equation of state, and hence to the virial coefficients. For a realgas, v20 may thus be expressed as a virial series in molar density 1/V,92 i.e.

Since pressure is the preferred experimental parameter, one may also write avirial expansion for v20 in powers of the pressure with corresponding virialcoefficients B0ac, C

0ac, . . . The coefficients of the density and pressure expan-

sion are interrelated; for example

B0ac ¼Bac

C 0ac ¼Cac � BBac

Thus, measurements of the speed of ultrasound as function of density (orpressure) will yield information on B together with its first and second tem-perature derivatives, and Cpg

V (or kpg) through extrapolation of v20 to zerodensity. The principal advantages of the acoustic method are its rapidity andthe greater accuracy at temperatures where adsorption effects becomeimportant.93

All this valuable thermophysical information can then be used to obtainreliable second virial coefficients over large temperature ranges. For a fluid withspherically symmetric pair potential energy u(r),

BðTÞ ¼ �2pNA

e�uðrÞ=kBT � 1h i

r2dr ð102Þ

where NA is the Avogadro constant and kB is the Boltzmann constant. Inver-sion94 then yields the fundamentally important potential energy function u(r)for a pair of molecules.While a discussion of experimental acoustical methods is way outside the

scope of this introductory chapter, the following comment is indicated. Forgases/vapours at low to moderate pressures not too close to saturation, thehighest experimental precision, when measuring v0, is obtained through use of aspherical resonator, a technique which was pioneered by Moldover, Mehl andco-workers.95,96

So far, the focus was on homogeneous constant-composition fluids, of whichpure fluids are special cases. I will now briefly consider the case where a pureliquid is in equilibrium with its vapour. Such a situation is encountered, forinstance, in adiabatic calorimetry, where the calorimeter vessel is incompletelyfilled with liquid in order to accommodate the thermal expansion of the sample(usually, the vapour space volume is comparatively small). One has now aclosed two-phase single-component system. The heat capacity of such a systemis closely related to CL

s , i.e. the molar heat capacity of a liquid in equilibriumwith an infinitesimal amount of vapour (as before, the saturation condition isindicated by the subscript s). For a detailed analysis see Hoge,97 Rowlinsonand Swinton,56 and Wilhelm.98

The differences between the first four quantities are generally much smaller thanbetween CL

V and (qUL/qT)s.While the general equations apply also to the saturated vapour (p ¼ V), the

inequality does not. Since aVPVV is always large, for saturated vapours the dif-

ference CVs–C

VP is always significant [see Equation (104)]. In fact, for vapours of

substances with small molecules, such as argon, carbon dioxide, ammonia andwater (steam), aVPV

V may be large enough to make CVs even negative. Finally we

note that the difference between the saturation heat capacities in the vapourphase and the liquid phase may be expressed as98

1.3 Concluding Remarks

Calorimetry and PVT measurements are the most fundamental and also theoldest experimental disciplines of physical chemistry. Although simple inprinciple, enormous effort and ingenuity has gone into designing the vastarray of apparatus now at our disposal. In this introductory chapter, I did notcover design of experiments beyond the bare rudiments – the reader is referredto the relevant articles and books quoted, and to the chapters of this bookfocusing on this aspect. Let it suffice to say that the advances in instrumentationduring the last decades have greatly facilitated the high-precision determinationof caloric and PVT properties of fluids over large ranges of temperature andpressure. At the same time cross-fertilisation with other disciplines, notablywith ultrasonics and hypersonics, and with biophysics, is becoming increasingly

important, as is the close connection to equation-of-state research and, ofcourse, chemical engineering.56,61,79,98,100–103 The discussion presented here andin the chapters to follow may perhaps best be characterised by a statement dueto Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) on the practical philosophy of scientificresearch:

The scientist is a practical man and his are practical aims. He does not seek theultimate but the proximate. He does not speak of the last analysis but rather of thenext approximation. . . . On the whole, he is satisfied with his work, for whilescience may never be wholly right it certainly is never wholly wrong; and it seemsto be improving from decade to decade.

By necessity, this introductory chapter is limited to a few topics, the selectionof which was also influenced by my current interests. In conclusion, I hope tohave:

� formulated concisely some important aspects of the thermodynamicformalism needed in this area of research;

� discussed and made transparent some key aspects of experiments;� shown how to apply and to appropriately extend well-known concepts to

perhaps less familiar, yet potentially important, problems;� stimulated some colleagues to enter this fascinating and important field of

research.

Success in any of these points would be most rewarding.
