I am using the equation of state for the incompressibel
mixture of LiBr-H2O. In the original paper of Patek and Klomfar the
zero-points (Enthalpy and Entropy) for the mixture is chosen in the
state 50% (weight) and T=273.15 K. In CoolProp are selected zero
values for all concentrations in the state T=293.15 K and P=1 atm (reference).

I do not understand, how the calculation of the enthalpy of solution is
possibel with this defintion. I cannot calculate the mixing enthalpy, if
i am changing the concentration. I think that is only possible with the
definitions of Patek and Klomfar.

I would be glad about an answer.

Best wishes, Hans-Herbert

Dear Hans-Herbert

 

You found a design flaw in CoolProp – the enthalpy of mixing cannot be calculated and you an only compare states with similar concentrations.

 

I did not think about this properly when I designed the incompressible backend as I was only interested in pure fluids – the mixtures were included later.

 

Sorry to disappoint you.
