摘要:

在泰坦上,甲烷(CH 4)和乙烷(C2 H6)是湖泊和海洋中的主要物种。在这项研究中,我们结合了实验室工作和建模,以改善甲烷-乙烷二元相图在低温下,并探讨分子如何在这些条件下相互作用。我们对液相线进行了目视检查,对固相线进行了拉曼光谱检查。通过这些方法,我们确定了低共熔点为71.15 $\pm$ 0.5 K,组成为0.644 $\pm$ 0.018甲烷- 0.356 $\pm$ 0.018乙烷摩尔分数从液相线数据。利用固相线数据,我们发现共晶等温温度为72.2 K,标准偏差为0.4 K。除了绘制二元系统,我们还观察了纯乙烷的固-固转变,发现当冷却时,固体I-III的转变发生在89.45 $\pm$ 0.2 K。升温序列显示固体III-II转变发生在89.85 $\pm$ 0.2 K,固体II-I转变发生在89.65 $\pm$ 0.2 K。理想的预测进行了比较,分子动力学模拟,以揭示甲烷-乙烷系统的行为几乎理想,最大的偏差发生的混合比接近低共熔组合物。

英文摘要:

On Titan, methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) are the dominant species found in the lakes and seas. In this study, we have combined laboratory work and modeling to refine the methane-ethane binary phase diagram at low temperatures and probe how the molecules interact at these conditions. We used visual inspection for the liquidus and Raman spectroscopy for the solidus. Through these methods we determined a eutectic point of 71.15$\pm$0.5 K at a composition of 0.644$\pm$0.018 methane - 0.356$\pm$0.018 ethane mole fraction from the liquidus data. Using the solidus data, we found a eutectic isotherm temperature of 72.2 K with a standard deviation of 0.4 K. In addition to mapping the binary system, we looked at the solid-solid transitions of pure ethane and found that, when cooling, the transition of solid I-III occurred at 89.45$\pm$0.2 K. The warming sequence showed transitions of solid III-II occurring at 89.85$\pm$0.2 K and solid II-I at 89.65$\pm$0.2 K. Ideal predictions were compared to molecular dynamics simulations to reveal that the methane-ethane system behaves almost ideally, and the largest deviations occur as the mixing ratio approaches the eutectic composition.
