Abstract
The equation of state (EOS) for square-well chain fluid with variable range (SWCF-VR) developed in our previous work based on statistical mechanical theory for chemical association is employed for the correlations of surface tension and viscosity of common fluids and ionic liquids (ILs). A model of surface tension for multi-component mixtures is presented by combining the SWCF-VR EOS and the scaled particle theory and used to produce the surface tension of binary and ternary mixtures. The predicted surface tensions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data with an overall average absolute relative deviation (AAD) of 0.36%. A method for the calculation of dynamic viscosity of common fluids and ILs at high pressure is presented by combining Eyring's rate theory of viscosity and the SWCF-VR EOS. The calculated viscosities are in good agreement with the experimental data with the overall AAD of 1.44% for 14 fluids in 84 cases. The salient feature is that the molecular parameters used in these models are self-consistent and can be applied to calculate different thermodynamic properties such as pVT, vapor-liquid equilibrium, caloric properties, surface tension, and viscosity.
