Lydersen method

The Lydersen method is a group contribution method for the estimation of critical properties temperature (T_c), pressure (P_c) and volume (V_c). The method is named after Aksel Lydersen who published it in 1955.^[1] The Lydersen method is the prototype for and ancestor of many new models like Joback,^[2] Klincewicz,^[3] Ambrose,^[4] Gani-Constantinou^[5] and others.

The Lydersen method is based in case of the critical temperature on the Guldberg rule which establishes a relation between the normal boiling point and the critical temperature.

Equations

Critical temperature

T_{c}={\frac {T_{b}}{0.567+\sum G_{i}-\left(\sum G_{i}\right)^{2}}}

Guldberg has found that a rough estimate of the normal boiling point T_b, when expressed in kelvins (i.e., as an absolute temperature), is approximately two-thirds of the critical temperature T_c. Lydersen uses this basic idea but calculates more accurate values.

Critical pressure

P_{c}={\frac {M}{\left(0.34+\sum G_{i}\right)^{2}}}

Critical volume

V_{c}\,=\,40+\sum G_{i}

M is the molar mass and G_i are the group contributions (different for all three properties) for functional groups of a molecule.

Example calculation

Acetone is fragmented in two different groups, one carbonyl group and two methyl groups. For the critical volume the following calculation results:

V_c = 40 + 60.0 + 2 * 55.0 = 210 cm³

In the literature (such as in the Dortmund Data Bank) the values 215.90 cm³,^[6] 230.5 cm³ ^[7] and 209.0 cm³ ^[8] are published.
