Modified van Laar's equation and its application to VLE of polymer solutions
The original van Laar's theory has been modified, The internal pressures of components and mixture are expressed by Frank's relation and the excess entropy for mixing of components is also considered. A. new activity coefficient equation, which can be satisfactorily applied to polymer solutions, is obtained. The calculated results for the VLE of 179 polymer solutions show that the accuracy of fit is evidently superior to UNIQUAC equation.
