Methyl Acetate Prediction of Polynary Vapor-Liquid Equilibria

2 Methyl Acetate Prediction of Polynary Vapor-Liquid Equilibria 

In the previous sedion, the influence of the quality of binary data on simulation results of RDs was discussed. We will now focus on the fact that even very similar descriptions of binary data may lead to distinctly differing predictions for processes with multicomponent mixtures, such as RD. The example used here is the methyl acetate RD already discussed above. In modeling that process, two variants of the UNIQUAC model were used one with two adjustable binary parameters and one
