Prediction of phase equilibria in water/alcohol/alkane systems
The Cubic Plus Association Equation of State (CPA EoS) is applied to the prediction of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) and Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium (LLE) in ternary associating mixtures containing water, alcohols and alkanes. The appropriate set of combining rules for the cross-association energy and volume parameters of the EoS is identified by evaluating the performance of four such sets in the correlation of VLE and LLE for water/alcohol mixtures. Using only one interaction parameter per binary mixture, in the physical part of the EoS, CPA gives very satisfactory predictions of ternary VLE and LLE.
