TL;DR: In this paper, the attractive pressure term of the semi-empirical van der Waals equation has been modified for predicting the vapor pressure and volumetric behavior of singie-component systems.
Abstract: The development of a new two-constant equation of state in which the attractive pressure term of the semiempirical van der Waals equation has been modified is outlined. Examples of the use of the equation for predicting the vapor pressure and volumetric behavior of singie-component systems, and the phase behavior and volumetric behavior of binary, ternary, and multicomponent systems are given. The proposed equation combines simplicity and accuracy. It performs as well as or better than the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation in all cases tested and shows its greatest advantages in the prediction of liquid phase densities.
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state is proposed, which can be extended successfully to multicomponent-VLE calculations for mixtures of nonpolar substances, with the exclusion of carbon dioxide.
TL;DR: In this article, a group-contribution method is presented for the prediction of activity coefficients in nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures, which combines the solution-of-functional-groups concept with a model for activity coefficients based on an extension of the quasi chemical theory of liquid mixture (UNIQUAC).
Abstract: A group-contribution method is presented for the prediction of activity coefficients in nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures. The method combines the solution-of-functional-groups concept with a model for activity coefficients based on an extension of the quasi chemical theory of liquid mixtures (UNIQUAC). The resulting UNIFAC model (UNIQUAC Functional-group Activity Coefficients) contains two adjustable parameters per pair of functional groups.
By using group-interaction parameters obtained from data reduction, activity coefficients in a large number of binary and multicomponent mixtures may be predicted, often with good accuracy. This is demonstrated for mixtures containing water, hydrocarbons, alcohols, chlorides, nitriles, ketones, amines, and other organic fluids in the temperature range 275° to 400°K.
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified UNIFAC (Dortmund, FRG) method was proposed to fit temperature-dependent group interaction parameters simultaneously to vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), liquid liquid equilibrium (LLE), h E, and γ ∞ data.
Abstract: Several years ago a modified UNIFAC (Dortmund, FRG) method was proposed, which shows various advantages when compared with the group contribution methods UNIFAC or ASOG; the latter are used worldwide for the synthesis and design of rectification processes. These advantages were reached by using a modified combinatorial part and by using a large data base to fit temperature-dependent group interaction parameters simultaneously to vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE), h E , and γ ∞ data. The main advantages of the modified UNIFAC method are a better description of the temperature dependence and the real behavior in the dilute region and that it can be applied more reliably for systems involving molecules very different in size. To increase the range of this applicability, the temperature-dependent group interaction parameters of the modified UNIFAC has been fitted for 45 main groups using phase equilibrium information (VLE, h E , γ ∞, LLE) stored in the Dortmund Data Bank. A comprehensive comparison with the results of other group contribution methods confirms the high reliability of the modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) method
TL;DR: In this article, the Redlich-Kwong-soave method was used to improve volume estimations for pure liquids, mixtures of liquids or gases, and petroleum fluids.
