Phase State Curves: An Exploration of Clausius Clapeyron and Antoine Equations

Additional Funding Sources

This project is supported by a 2018-2019 STEM Undergraduate Research Grant from the Higher Education Research Council.

Abstract

In an industrial setting having a simple yet precise equation to calculate the conditions for the liquid to gas phase change is important to optimize the energy used in production. The current approximations, obtained from experimental data, seem to use functions that are more complicated than the curve suggests are necessary. In this project, a "best" approximating curve will be presented using techniques from optimization, chemistry, and data analytics. "Best" is defined to mean that the solution can be described according to the science of CC equation.
