Equation of State and Thermodynamic Properties of Pure D2O and D2O + H2O Mixtures in and Beyond the Critical Region

A parametric crossover model is adapted to represent the thermodynamic properties of pure D2O in the extended critical region. The crossover equation of state for D2O incorporates scaling laws asymptotically close to the critical point and is transformed into a regular classical expansion far from the critical point. An isomorphic generalization of the law of corresponding states is applied to the prediction of thermodynamic properties and the phase behavior of D2O + H2O mixtures over a wide region around the locus of vapor-liquid critical points. A comparison is made with experimental data for pure D2O and for the D2O + H2O mixture. The equation of state yields a good representation of thermodynamic property data in the range of temperatures 0.8Tc(x)< T < 1.5TC(X) and densities 0.35Pc(x) < p < 1.65pc(X).
