New Invariant Asymmetric Mixing Rules
New invariant asymmmetric mixing rules were developed which obeyed the boundary condition of the second virial coefficient. These mixing rules were incorporated into the PRSV (Peng-Robinson-Stryjek-Vera) equation of state and applied to vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) calculations with emphasis on aqueous mixtures. The new mixing rules could improve VLE calculations for binary aqueous systems while an asymmetric interaction constant (l(12)) and temperature-dependent q(12) were used. The new model reasonably predicts the VLE behavior for several aqueous weak electrolyte systems and is generally better than the API-Sour model at elevated temperature applications.
