Sj. Yoo et al., A NEW PREDICTIVE QUASI-LATTICE EQUATION OF STATE FOR HIGH-PRESSURE PHASE-EQUILIBRIA OF PURE FLUIDS AND MIXTURES, Fluid phase equilibria, 125(1-2), 1996, pp. 21-31
The recent success of analytical quasi-lattice equation of state (EOS)
description of r-mer fluids by the present authors leads us to extend
the EOS as a group contribution. With a size parameter for each group
and an interaction energy parameter between groups, EOS parameters fo
r pure fluids were calculated. Predicted high-pressure phase equilibri
um properties of pure alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatics, carbon dioxide
and their mixtures showed good agreements with experimental data. Esp
ecially, the present approach predicts phase equilibria of mixtures wi
thout employing any type of adjustable binary interaction parameter, A
s a result, high-pressure phase equilibrium behaviors of both pure flu
ids and mixtures can readily be predicted solely from information on f
unctional group interactions.
