Abstract
The prediction of the vapor-liquid equilibria of vegetable oil-hexane mixtures is studied. Activity coefficients are calculated by the UNIFA C model. Different entropic contributions to activity coefficients fro m the literature are analyzed. These modifications improve the perform ance of the original UNIFAC model in vapor-liquid equilibrium calculat ions.
