Research Summary:  The goal of this research project is to utilize              modern approaches of statistical mechanics to develop analytic phase            equilibrium calculational techniques for multicomponent complex                 solutions of practical interest.  The PI has recently developed the             fundamental basics for calculation of thermodynamic properties                  of complex solutions consisting of polar, associating, and large                molecular size different species.  The thrust of this project is                significant elaboration on the previous findings and detailed studies           on continuous mixture models for solute/solvent interactions in                 asphaltene/oil systems to study the phenomena of asphaltene and wax             deposition due to the presence of miscible solvents.                                                                                                            The plan for the proposed research is:  (1) Application and                     tests of new sets of mixing rules for complex solutions; (2)                    Formation of new multicomponent computational schemes in which                  the unlike-three-body effects are incorporated and phase                        equilibrium calculations on ternary and other multicomponent                    mixtures of practical interest in order to verify the                           formulations; (3) Incorporation of the theory of                                monomer/polymer solutions in the mixtures in which one (or a                    family) of the components consist of polymers; and (4) Detailed                 statistical thermodynamic modeling and a number of basic                        measurements of the phase behavior and other properties of                      asphaltene-oil-solvent systems.
