Chapter 8 Abstract The nonclassical gasdynamics of binary mixtures of organic fluids in the vapour phase is investigated for the first time. A predictive thermodynamic model is used to compute the relevant mixture properties, including its critical point coordinates and the local value of the fundamental derivative of gasdynamics Γ. The considered model is the improved Peng-Robinson Stryjek-Vera cubic equation of state, complemented by the Wong-Sandler mixing rules. A finite thermodynamic region is found where the non-linearity parameter Γ is negative and therefore nonclassical gasdy- namics phenomena are admissible. A non monotone dependence of Γ on the mixture composition is observed in the case of binary mixtures of siloxane and perfluorocarbon fluids, with the mini- mum value of Γ in the mixture being always larger than that of its more complex component. The observed dependence indicates that non-ideal mixing has a strong influence on the gasdynamics behaviour—either classical or nonclassical—of the mixture. Numerical experiments of the super- sonic expansion of a mixture flow around a sharp corner show the transition from the classical con- figuration, exhibiting an isentropic rarefaction fan centred at the expansion corner, to nonclassical ones, including mixed expansion waves and rarefaction shock waves, if the mixture composition is changed. 8.1 Introduction The first scientist who hinted at the possibility of observing rarefaction shock waves in vapours of molecularly complex organic fluids was Nobel-laureate Hans Bethe, in 1942 [1]. Rarefaction shock waves are discontinuous solutions to the Euler equations of compressible flows where the fluid undergoes an irreversible expansion process which results into a discontinuous reduction of density, pressure, temperature and fluid velocity in the direction of propagation of the shock wave. As it is well known, rarefaction shock waves are not physically admissible in dilute gases with constant specific heats. In a broad theoretical study on the theory of shock waves in arbitrary material, Bethe outlined how the occurrence of rarefaction shock waves depends on a peculiar combination of the thermo- dynamic properties of the material at the states of interest. He noticed that, according to the van der Waals model [2], rarefaction shock waves would theoretically be possible in the dense vapour of fluids featuring high values of the heat capacity, if the pre- and post-shock states of the fluid are close to the vapour-liquid critical point. Nevertheless, he ruled out this possibility on the ground of what we now know as incorrect physical arguments, see also Ref. [3]. An early contribution is also due to Zeldovich [4] and Weyl [5]. Though, it was Thompson, see also Refs. [3, 6, 7], who first provided a systematic treatment of what is now called non classical gas dynamics. A review article by Kutateladze documents the advancements in non classical gasdynamics until the 80’s [8], while a more recent review can be found in Ref. [9]. A necessary condition for non classical behaviour to be physically admissible is that the fun- damental derivative of gas dynamics ρ∂c v3 ∂2P Γ≡1+ = , (8.1) c ∂ρ 2c2 ∂v2 ss a thermodynamic property of the fluid first introduced by Hayes [11], is negative. In definition (8.1), ρ is the density, s is the entropy, P is the pressure, v = 1/ρ is the specific volume, and c is the zero- frequency speed of sound c ≡ (∂P/∂ρ)s. If Γ is negative in a finite thermodynamic region, RSWs are admissible, among other so-called non classical waves such as composite and split waves, see, e.g. Ref. [6]. 204PDF Image | New Concepts FOR Organic Rankine Cycle Power Systems
