Evaluation of thermodynamic functions relative to cavity formation in liquids: uses and misuses of Scaled Particle Theory

摘要: The Scaled Particle Theory (SPT) is probably the most powerful theory presently available, that enables calculation of thermodynamic functions relative to formation cavities in liquids. We give general relationship between enthalpy vaporization and a molecular cavity pure normal liquid; good agreement with experimental data constitutes one strongest arguments justifying application SPT real However, we show can lead uncertain terms if diameters studied liquids are not well-known. compare, on other hand, (G H) calculated from Sinanoglu's theory, since this has been used end recently, those obtained SPT.
