  • An Electrolyte Non-random-UNIQUAC Model for Thermodynamic Modeling of Binary and Multicomponent Aqueous Electrolyte Systems
    Journal of Solution Chemistry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Seyed Mohammad Razavi, Ali Haghtalab, Ali Reza Khanchi
    Abstract:

    An Electrolyte non-random-UNIQUAC (NR-UNIQUAC) local composition model is developed for calculation of the excess Gibbs energy and activity coefficients for Binary and the multicomponent Electrolyte solutions. A new expression for the energies of the reference cells in the random state is used and a modified version of the UNIQUAC model is provided. The high efficiency of the presented model is demonstrated through the correlation of the available experimental data for various Electrolyte solutions. Obtained results are compared with those of Electrolyte-UNIQUAC-NRF model. The correlation of data was carried out using two different approaches, the single system correlation and the global optimization of the interaction parameters. In the single fitting approach, two adjustable Binary interaction parameters of the model are regressed using the experimental mean activity coefficient data of Binary solutions. In the global approach, the anion-water and cation–anion interaction energy parameters of different ions are calculated via simultaneous correlation of the mean activity coefficient data of the forty-nine Binary Electrolyte solutions. In both approaches, the adjustable parameters are calculated in a wide range of Electrolyte concentrations and at different temperatures, so that these parameters can be used to predict the osmotic coefficient data of many Binary systems. Moreover, the solubility and osmotic coefficient data of ternary Electrolyte solutions were predicted using the previously obtained Binary parameters. Using the present model, the predicted data for the Binary and multicomponent Electrolyte solutions are in good agreement with the experimental data. When compared to Electrolyte-UNIQUAC-NRF model, the present model is more accurate. Additionally, the presence of salt–salt interaction parameters in the Electrolyte-NR-UNIQUAC model can further improve its efficiency when experimental data for a ternary system is available.

  • Electrolyte uniquac nrf model for the correlation of the mean activity coefficient of Electrolyte solutions
    Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ali Haghtalab, Kiana Peyvandi
    Abstract:

    Abstract The new Electrolyte-UNIQUAC-NRF excess Gibbs function is obtained for calculation of the activity coefficient of the Binary Electrolyte solutions. The excess Gibbs energy of the model consists of the Pitzer–Debye–Huckel equation, describing the long-range electrostatic contribution and the Electrolyte-UNIQUAC-NRF model to account for the short-range contributions. With two adjustable parameters per Electrolyte, the new model is applied to correlation of the mean activity coefficients of more than 130 Binary aqueous Electrolyte solutions at 25 °C. Also the Binary parameters, obtaining from regression of mean activity data, are used for prediction of osmotic coefficient data for the same Electrolytes. The results are compared with various local composition models such as the Electrolyte-NRTL, Electrolyte NRF-Wilson, Electrolyte-NRTL-NRF, N-Wilson-NRF models. The comparison of the results with experiment demonstrates that the new model can correlate the experimental activity coefficient data and predict the osmotic coefficient data of Binary Electrolytes accurately.

  • a nonElectrolyte local composition model and its application in the correlation of the mean activity coefficient of aqueous Electrolyte solutions
    Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ali Haghtalab, Seyed Hossein Mazloumi
    Abstract:

    Abstract The local composition models have been widely used for the correlation of activity coefficient of nonElectrolyte and Electrolyte solutions. A new equation for the excess Gibbs energy function is developed based on the local composition expression of Wilson and the random reference state. This new function, the nonElectrolyte Wilson nonrandom factor (N-Wilson-NRF) model, is presented in the form of a molecular framework so that it can be used for both nonElectrolyte and Electrolyte solutions. Without any particular assumptions for ionic solutions, the new function is used to described the short-range contribution of the excess Gibbs energy of Electrolyte solutions. The long-range contribution is represented by Pitzer–Debye–Huckel model. With two adjustable parameters per Electrolyte, the new model is applied to correlate the mean activity coefficients of more than 150 Binary aqueous Electrolyte solutions at 25 °C. The results are compared with various local composition models such as the Electrolyte-NRTL, Electrolyte NRF-Wilson and Electrolyte-NRTL-NRF models. The comparison of the results with experiment demonstrates that the new model can correlate the experimental data accurately. Moreover, the model shows high precision of predictability for the osmotic coefficient of Binary Electrolyte solutions.

  • g ex model using local area fraction for Binary Electrolyte systems
    International Journal of Thermophysics, 2007
    Co-Authors: Ali Haghtalab, Marzieh Joda
    Abstract:

    The correlation and prediction of phase equilibria of Electrolyte systems are essential in the design and operation of many industrial processes such as downstream processing in biotechnology, desalination, hydrometallurgy, etc. In this research, the local composition non-random two liquid-nonrandom factor (NRTL-NRF) model of Haghtalab and Vera was extended for uni-univalent aqueous Electrolyte solutions. Based on the assumptions of the NRTL-NRF model, excess Gibbs free energy (g E) functions were derived for Binary Electrolyte systems. In this work, the local area fraction was applied and the modified model of NRTL-NRF was developed with either an equal or unequal surface area of an anion to the surface area of a cation. The modified NRTL-NRF models consist of two contributions, one due to long-range forces represented by the Debye–Huckel theory, and the other due to short-range forces, represented by local area fractions of species through nonrandom factors. Each model contains only two adjustable parameters per Electrolyte. In addition, the model with unequal surface area of ionic species gives better results in comparison with the second new model with equal surface area of ions. The results for the mean activity coefficients for aqueous solutions of uni-univalent Electrolytes at 298.15 K showed that the present model is more accurate than the original NRTL-NRF model.

  • numerical analysis of finite debye length effects in induced charge electro osmosis
    Physical Review E, 2009
    Co-Authors: Misha Marie Gregersen, Gaurav Soni, Carl D. Meinhart, Mathias B Andersen, Henrik Bruus
    Abstract:

    : For a microchamber filled with a Binary Electrolyte and containing a flat unbiased center electrode at one wall, we employ three numerical models to study the strength of the resulting induced-charge electro-osmotic (ICEO) flow rolls: (i) a full nonlinear continuum model resolving the double layer, (ii) a linear slip-velocity model not resolving the double layer and without tangential charge transport inside this layer, and (iii) a nonlinear slip-velocity model extending the linear model by including the tangential charge transport inside the double layer. We show that, compared to the full model, the slip-velocity models significantly overestimate the ICEO flow. This provides a partial explanation of the quantitative discrepancy between observed and calculated ICEO velocities reported in the literature. The discrepancy increases significantly for increasing Debye length relative to the electrode size, i.e., for nanofluidic systems. However, even for electrode dimensions in the micrometer range, the discrepancies in velocity due to the finite Debye length can be more than 10% for an electrode of zero height and more than 100% for electrode heights comparable to the Debye length.

  • frequency response in surface potential driven electrohydrodynamics
    Physical Review E, 2006
    Co-Authors: Louise Ejsing, Kristian Smistrup, C M Pedersen, Niels Asger Mortensen, Henrik Bruus
    Abstract:

    Using a Fourier approach we offer a general solution to calculations of slip velocity within the circuit description of the electrohydrodynamics in a Binary Electrolyte confined by a plane surface with a modulated surface potential. We consider the case with a spatially constant intrinsic surface capacitance where the net flow rate is, in general, zero while harmonic rolls as well as time-averaged vortexlike components may exist depending on the spatial symmetry and extension of the surface potential. In general, the system displays a resonance behavior at a frequency corresponding to the inverse $RC$ time of the system. Different surface potentials share the common feature that the resonance frequency is inversely proportional to the characteristic length scale of the surface potential. For the asymptotic frequency dependence above resonance we find a ${\ensuremath{\omega}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ power law for surface potentials with either an even or an odd symmetry. Below resonance we also find a power law ${\ensuremath{\omega}}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ with $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ being positive and dependent of the properties of the surface potential. Comparing a tanh potential and a sech potential we qualitatively find the same slip velocity, but for the below-resonance frequency response the two potentials display different power-law asymptotics with $\ensuremath{\alpha}=1$ and $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\sim}2$, respectively.

  • LES of turbulent channel flow of a Binary Electrolyte
    Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 2000
    Co-Authors: F. Gurniki, Koji Fukagata, S. Zahrai, Fritz H Bark
    Abstract:

    The turbulent diffusion boundary layer in a Binary Electrolyte was considered at Schmidt numbers of 1, 10 and 100 and exchange current densities between 10−4 A m−2 and 10−2 A m−2. A numerical scheme was developed for efficient investigation of the dynamics by means of large eddy simulations. The methodology was examined by detailed comparisons with documented data from earlier large eddy and direct numerical simulations and good agreement was found. Application of the methodology to electrochemical mass transfer indicated that the exchange current density seems to have negligible effect on the mean concentration profile but it influences the structure of the fluctuating field in a visible manner.

  • turbulent free convection in large electrochemical cells with a Binary Electrolyte
    Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 1999
    Co-Authors: F. Gurniki, Fritz H Bark, Said Zahrai
    Abstract:

    A mathematical model proposed by Bark and Alavyoon for modelling laminar natural convection in electrochemical cells, with Binary Electrolytes, is extended to simulation of two-dimensional turbulent flows. The turbulence was modelled by a standard k–π model. The constants used in the model are the same as those used by Henkes and Hoogendoorn. Steady state calculations were carried out in a square, differentially heated enclosure for Gr=7×1010 and Pr=0.71. The turbulence model used could not predict the transition effect on the Nusselt number along the hot wall. Transient calculations performed in an enclosure with an aspect ratio of 35, for Gr=6.4×1011 and Sc=2763, revealed large scale fluctuations in the boundary layers near the vertical walls. The model was able to predict qualitatively the velocity field for transitional flow for air induced by buoyancy at Grh=8100 and Grh=22 500. The correlation between the Sherwood and Rayleigh numbers was studied by modelling the mass transfer at the electrodes using a Butler–Volmer law. The computed Sherwood number was found to be approximately proportional to the Rayleigh number to the power of 0.2 in the range of Rah between 5×108 and 1010, and with an order of magnitude of 105.

  • electrolysis of a Binary Electrolyte in two dimensional channel flow
    Electrochimica Acta, 1996
    Co-Authors: Fredrik C Wallgren, Fritz H Bark, Bengtjoel Andersson
    Abstract:

    Abstract Numerical simulations have been performed to analyze the electric current density in an aqueous solution of CuSO4, flowing in a two-dimensional channel with finite electrodes placed symmetrically on opposite sides. A Butler-Volmer law is chosen as a boundary condition on the electrodes for current densities below the limiting current. At limiting current density, two modified boundary conditions at the cathode are derived. For 0 ⩽ Pe ⩽ 25 000, comparisons are made with results of other studies, and the agreement is excellent for large values of Pe but differ for Pe ~ 1. For small values of the applied voltage and large values of Pe, a semi-analytic solution of the electric potential is derived.

  • on morphological instability during electrodeposition with a stagnant Binary Electrolyte
    Electrochimica Acta, 1995
    Co-Authors: Larsgoran Sundstrom, Fritz H Bark
    Abstract:

    Abstract For a metal deposition problem with a stagnant Binary Electrolyte a study is made of how low amplitude irregularities in the electrode surfaces evolve with time. The linear stability problem is solved numerically as an eigenvalue problem. Analytical solutions for three different limits are obtained and found to agree with the numerical solution. In contrast to previous work simultaneous perturbations to both electrodes are treated and the full equation for the electric potential is solved. Also, the common assumption of neglecting the time derivative in the equation for concentration perturbation is not made use of. As a result, the growth rate for very large wavelengths is found to approach a finite value rather than decreasing to zero. Non-dimensional parameters are identified and their influence is studied. As in most previous results growing modes are found for each value of the applied current.
