Abstract

For the efficient design of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes, a comprehensive database for the viscosity, surface tension, and density of mixtures of the diphenylmethane-based liquid organic hydrogen carrier system and the pure intermediate cyclohexylphenylmethane measured by complementary optical and conventional methods and calculated by molecular dynamics simulations at process-relevant temperatures up to 623 K is presented. The simulations employ self-developed force fields including a new one for cyclohexylphenylmethane and reveal surface enrichment and orientation effects influencing the surface tension. Relatively simple correlation and prediction approaches yield accurate representations as function of temperature and degree of hydrogenation (DoH) of the mixtures with average absolute relative deviations (AARD) of 0.07% for the density and 2.9% for the surface tension. Application of the extended hard sphere theory considering the presented accurate density data allows capturing the highly nonlinear DoH-dependent behavior of the dynamic viscosity with an AARD of 2.9%.
