Modeling<br />

where the factors ηij <strong>and</strong> ξij modify the arithmetic <strong>and</strong> geometric averages, respectively,<br />

between components i <strong>and</strong> j. Both parameters are usually set to one for mixtures of<br />

segments of similar size <strong>and</strong> energy. In this case, Equations III.13 <strong>and</strong> III.14 reduce to the<br />

simple Lorentz-Berthelot rules. Further information about the appropriateness of several<br />

combination rules can be found in reference (Diaz et al., 1982).<br />

III.2.1 The Quadrupole Moment<br />

To account for electrostatic contribution for the thermodynamic properties of a<br />

given system where at least one of the components has a quadrupole moment, a polar term,<br />

A polar , may be included into Equation III.3. The leading multipole term for fluids of linear<br />

symmetrical molecules, like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, benzene, etc., is the quadrupole-<br />

quadrupole potential (Gubbins <strong>and</strong> Two, 1978). An expansion of the Helmholtz free<br />

energy in terms of the perturbed quadrupole-quadrupole potential with the Padé<br />

approximation was proposed by Stell et al. (1974):<br />

Expressions for A2 <strong>and</strong> A3, the second <strong>and</strong> third-order perturbation terms, are<br />

calculated according to the segment approach presented by Jog et al. (2001) which is a<br />

modification of the molecular approach previously derived by Two <strong>and</strong> Gubbins (Two <strong>and</strong><br />

Gubbins, 1975; Two, 1976) for an arbitrary intermolecular reference potential. The<br />

expressions for A2 <strong>and</strong> A3 were derived in the works of Gubbins <strong>and</strong> Two (1978) <strong>and</strong> Jog<br />

et al. (2001) <strong>and</strong> are presented here for completeness:<br />
