Liquid phase activity coefficient ASOG method

For the analytical equations, there are two methods to compute the vapour-liquid equilibrium for systems. The equation of state method (also known as the direct or phi-phi method) uses an equation of state to describe both the liquid and vapour phase properties, whereas the activity coefficient method (also known as the gamma-phi approach) describes the liquid phase via an activity coefficient model and the vapour phase via an equation of state. Recently, there have also been modified equation of state methods that have an activity coefficient model built into the mixing mles. These methods can be both correlative and predictive. The predictive methods rely on the use of group contribution methods for the activity coefficient models such as UNIFAC and ASOG. Recently, there have also been attempts to develop group contribution methods for the equation of state method, e.g. PRSK. " For a detailed history on the development of equations of state and their applications, as well as activity coefficient models, refer to Wei and Sadus, Sandler and Walas. ...
