The Joback method[1] (often named Joback/Reid method) is predicting eleven important and commonly used pure component thermodynamic properties from molecular structure only.

Basic Principles

[edit]

Group Contribution Method

[edit]
Principle of a Group Contribution Method

The Joback method is a group contribution method. These kind of methods use basic structural information of a chemical molecule like a list of simple functional groups, adds parameters to these functional groups, and calculates thermophysical and transport properties as a function of the sum of group parameters.

Joback assumes that there are no interactions between the groups and therefore only uses additive contributions and no contributions for interactions between groups. Other group contribution methods, especially methods like UNIFAC, which estimate mixture properties like activity coefficients, use both simple additive group parameters and group interaction parameters. The big advantage of using only simple group parameters is the small number of needed parameters. The number of needed group interaction parameters gets very high for an increasing number of groups (1 for two groups, 3 for three groups, 6 for four groups, 45 for ten groups and twice as much if the interactions are not symmetric.).

Nine of the properties an single temperature-independent values mostly estimated by a simple sum of group contribution plus an addend. Two of the estimated properties are temperature-dependent, the ideal gas heat capacity and the dynamic viscosity of liquids. The heat capacity polynomial uses four parameters and the viscosity equation only 2. In both cases the equation parameters are calculated by group contributions.

History

[edit]

The Joback method is an extension of the Lydersen method[2] and uses very similar groups, formulas, and parameters for the three properties the Lydersen already supported (critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume).

Joback extended the range of supported properties, created new parameters and modified slightly the formulas of the old Lydersen method.

Model Strengths and Weaknesses

[edit]
Strengths
[edit]

The popularity and success of the Joback method mainly originates from the single group list for all properties. This allows to get all eleven supported properties from a single analysis of the molecular structure.

The Joback method additionally uses a very simple and easy to assign group scheme which makes the method usable also for people with only basic chemical knowledge.

Weaknesses
[edit]

Newer developments of estimation methods[3][4] have shown that the quality of the Joback method is limited. The original authors already stated themselves in the original paper: “High accuracy is not claimed, but the proposed method are often as or more accurate than techniques in common use today.”.

The list of groups don't cover many common molecules sufficiently. Especially aromatic compounds are not differentiated from normal ring containing components. This is a severe problem because aromatic and aliphatic components differ strongly.

The data base Joback and Reid used for obtaining the group parameters was rather small and covered only a limited number of different molecules. The best coverage has been achieved for normal boiling points (438 components) and the worst for heat of fusion (155 components). Current developments which can use data banks like the Dortmund Data Bank or the DIPPR data base have a much broader coverage.

Formulas

[edit]

In the following formulas Gi denotes a group contribution. Gi are counted for every single available group. If a group is present multiple times each occurrence is counted separately.

Normal Boiling Point
[edit]

Melting Point
[edit]

Critical Temperature
[edit]

This critical temperature equation needs a normal boiling point Tb. If an experimental value is available it is recommended to use this boiling point. It is, on the other hand, also possible to input the normal boiling point estimated by the Joback method. This will lead to a higher error.

Critical Pressure
[edit]

NA: Number of atoms in the molecular structure (including hydrogens).

Critical Volume
[edit]

Heat of Formation (Ideal Gas, 298 K)
[edit]

Gibbs Energy of Formation (Ideal Gas, 298 K)
[edit]

Heat Capacity (Ideal Gas)
[edit]

The Joback method uses a four parameter polynomial to describe the temperature dependency of the ideal gas heat capacity. These parameters are valid from 273 K to approx. 1000 K.

Heat of Vaporization at Normal Boiling Point
[edit]

Heat of Fusion
[edit]

Liquid Dynamic Viscosity
[edit]

Mw: Molecular Weight

The method uses a two parameter equation to describe the temperature dependency of the dynamic viscosity. The authors state that the parameters are valid from the melting temperature up to 0.7 of the critical temperature (Tr<0.7).

Group Contributions

[edit]

The "#" in the groups named "#C" and "#CH" stands for a triple bond.

Example Calculation

[edit]

Acetone (Propanon) is the simplest ketone and is separated into three groups in the Joback method, two methyl groups (-CH3) and one ketone group (C=O). Since the methyl group is available twice its contributions have to be added twice.
