Detailed Description

Mixing rule using logarithms of the mole fractions.

This model is based on the idea that liquid molecules are generally interacting with some energy and entropy of interaction. For transport properties that depend on these energies of interaction, the mixture transport property can be written in terms of its logarithm

\[ \ln \eta_{mix} = \sum_i X_i \ln \eta_i + \sum_i \sum_j X_i X_j ( S_{i,j} + E_{i,j} / T ) \]

.

These additional interaction terms multiply the mixture property by

\[ \exp( \sum_{i} \sum_{j} X_i X_j ( S_{i,j} + E_{i,j} / T ) ) \]

so that the self-interaction terms \( S_{i,j} \) and \( E_{i,j} \) should be zero.

Note that the energies and entropies of interaction should be a function of the composition themselves, but this is not yet implemented. (We might follow the input of Margules model thermodynamic data for the purpose of implementing this.)

Sample input for this method is

*    <transport model="Liquid">
*       <viscosity>
*          <compositionDependence model="logMoleFractions">
*             <interaction speciesA="Li+" speciesB="K+">
*               <!--
*                 interactions are from speciesA = LiCl(L)
*                 and speciesB = KCl(L).
*                   -->
*                <Eij units="J/kmol"> -1.0e3 </Eij>
*                <Sij units="J/kmol/K"> 80.0e-5 </Sij>
*             </interaction>
*          </compositionDependence>
*       </viscosity>
*    </transport>
