Thermodynamic Modeling of Vapor-Liquid Equilibria and Excess Properties of the Binary Systems Containing Diethers and n-Alkanes by Cubic Equation of State
A comparison of the performances of two different approaches of cubic equations of state models, based on a classical van der Waals and mixing rules incorporating the GE equation, was carried out for correlation of Vapor-Liquid Equilibria (VLE), HE and cPE data alone, and simultaneous correlation of VLE+HE, VLE+cPE, HE+cPE and VLE+HE+cPE data for the diethers (1,4-dioxane or 1,3-dioxolane) with n-alkane systems. For all calculations the Peng-Robinson-Stryjek-Vera cubic equation of state (PRSV CEOS) was used. A family of mixing rules for the PRSV CEOS based on the Modified van der Waals one-fluid mixing rule (MvdW1) and two well-known CEOS/GE mixing rules (MHV1 and MHV2), was considered. The NRTL equation, as the GE model with linear or reciprocal temperature dependent parameters, was incorporated in the CEOS/GE models. The results obtained by the CEOS/GE models exhibit significant improvement in comparison to the MvdW1 models.
