Abstract
A generalized method is developed for the calculation of the attractiv e energy parameter in cubic equations of state (EOS). The procedure em ploys the principle of corresponding states and requires as input data the acentric factor, critical temperature and pressure. A comparison made with previous methods shows significant improvement in the predic tion of the attractive energy parameter for normal fluids.
