Popis: Entropy scaling is a powerful technique that has been used successfully for predicting transport properties of pure components over a wide range of states. However, modeling mixture diffusion coefficients by entropy scaling is an unresolved task. We have tackled this issue and present an entropy scaling framework for predicting mixture self-diffusion as well as mutual diffusion in a thermodynamically consistent way. The predictions of the mixture diffusion coefficients are made based on information on the self-diffusion coefficients of the pure components and the infinite dilution diffusion coefficients. This is accomplished using information on the entropy of the mixture, which is taken here from molecular-based equations of state. The framework is flexible and can be applied together with any equation of state. Examples for the application of the new entropy scaling framework for the prediction of diffusion coefficients in mixtures illustrate its impressive performance. It enables predictions a wide range of temperatures and pressures including gaseous, liquid, supercritical, and metastable states - also for strongly non-ideal mixtures.
