Abstract

This study demonstrates that any temperature dependency introduced in the term describing the inter-molecular repulsive forces of analytical EOS models leads to prediction of the infinite value for the isochoric heat capacity at the density limit conditions. The temperature-dependent hard sphere diameters and co-volumes necessarily result in the non-physical negative infinite values of this property at the infinite pressure, which in turn leads to the non-physical predictions of other properties, such as the sound velocities. In addition, this study demonstrates that the inconsistency existing at the imaginary state of infinite pressure may have a very strong negative impact on predicting the data of real fluids at the experimentally available pressures. Therefore making the repulsion compressibility factor temperature-dependent seems highly non-recommended.
