Peng-Robinson mixing rules

Equation 9 was used to calculate H for steam + n-heptane as follows. The Peng-Robinson equation with parameters obtained from criticality conditions was used to calculate the residual enthalpy H of methyl fluoride. Peng-Robinson parameters for n-heptane were obtained by fitting to the residual enthalpy of the fluid at temperatures below the critical, and by using criticality conditions at higher temperatures. The mixing rules given in equation 4 with k.. = 1 were used to calculate H. As...

As mentioned earlier, we have chosen to model the high-pressure phase behavior using the Peng-Robinson equation (Peng and Robinson, 1976) with standard van der Waals mixing rules ... 

With the use of these guidelines, we now derive the van der Waals mixing rules for the Redlich-Kwong and the Peng-Robinson equations of state. Similar procedure can be used for deriving the van der Waals mixing rules for other equations of state. 

Mixing Rules for the Penq-Robinson Equation of State. In order to separate thermodynamic variables from constants of the Peng-Robinson equation of state, we will insert Equations 8 and 9 in Equation 7 and we will write it in the following form ... 

A serious test of mixture equations of state is shown to be their application for prediction of solubility of solutes in supercritical fluids (JJ. ). In the present report, we apply the Redl ich-Kwong and the Peng-Robinson equations of state for supercritical fluid extraction of solids and study the effect of choosing different mixing rules on prediction of solubility of solids in supercritical fluids -Figures 1-5. 

A model based on a modified mixing rule for the Peng-Robinson equation of state was able to reproduce quantitatively all features of the observed phase equilibrium behavior, with model parameters determined from binary data only. The use of such models may substantially facilitate the task of process design and optimization for separations that utilize supercritical fluids.

Due to restriction for space the results on modeling the high-pressure phase behaviour of the system carbon dioxide-water-1 -propanol are presented only briefly. The model used in this work was the Peng-Robinson EOS [8] with an temperature dependent attractive term due to Melhelm et al. [9], Although several mixing rules have been tested, the discussion will be restricted to the two-parameter mixing rule of Panagiotopoulos and Reid [10],...

The good agreement between experimental and calculated values is pointed out by the average absolute deviation, AAD. The results demonstrate the possibility to compute the solubility as well as the partition coefficients with the Peng-Robinson-equation of state and a mixing rule with two interaction parameters. 

Regarding the solid solubility, the EOS influence is inconclusive (for some mixing rules Peng-Robinson was the best, while for others ones, Soave) ... 

For the prediction of the mixed-gas solubilities from the solubilities of the pure individual gases, the pressure dependence of the binary parameters ku is needed. The Peng—Robinson EOS was used to determine the binary parameters ku. The binary interaction parameter qi2 in the van der Waals mixing rule was taken from ref 28, where it was evaluated for the water-rich phases of water—hydrocarbon and water—carbon dioxide binary mixtures. The calculated binary parameters ku are listed in Table 1. One should note that, as expected for a liquid phase, the above parameters are almost independent of pressure, in contrast to their dependence on pressure in the gaseous phase near the critical point,... 

Several cubic equations of state such as Redlich-Kwong, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, and Peng-Robinson have been used to calculate vapor liquid equilibria of fatty acid esters in supercritical fluids. Comparisons are made with experimental data on n-butanol, n-octane, methyl oleate, and methyl linoleate in carbon dioxide and methyl oleate in ethane. Two cubic equations of state with a non quadratic mixing rule were successful in modeling the experimental data. 

They showed that the Peng-Robinson equation of state using mixing rules based on conformal solution theory can predict the fluid phase equilibrium of high molecular weight liquids in supercritical fluids more accurately than others (18.19).
