Isothermal bubble and dew points, saturated molar volumes, and mixture crit
ical points for binary mixtures of carbon dioxide + chloroform (trichlorome
thane) (CO2/CHCl3) have been measured in the temperature region 303.15-333.
15 K and at pressures up to 100 bar. Mixture critical points are reported a
t 313.15, 323.15, and 333.15 K. The data were modeled with the Peng-Robinso
n equation of state using both the van der Waals-1 (vdW-1) mixing rule and
the Wong-Sandler (WS) mixing rule incorporating the UNIQUAC excess free ene
rgy model. The WS mixing rule provided a better representation of the data
than did the vdW-1 mixing rule, though with three adjustable parameters ins
tead of one. The extrapolating ability of both of the mixing rules was inve
stigated. Using the parameters regressed at 323.15 K, the WS mixing rule yi
elded better extrapolations for the composition dependence at 303.15, 313.1
5, and 333.15 K than the vdW-1 mixing rule. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
