supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...

The present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (EOS) to refrigerant fluids. The objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. Two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified EOS are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. Our results showed that, the proposed EOS can predict w...

the simplified perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (spc-saft) equation of state (eos) was proposed to describe the thermodynamic properties of pure ionic liquids (ils). a set of spc-saft parameters for 2 ils was obtained by fitting the experimental liquid densities data over a wide range of temperature at atmospheric pressure. good agreement with experimental density data was o...

in this work, we consider each normal alkane as a hypothetical mixtureof methyland methylene groups, in which the interaction potential of each pair is assumed to be the average effective pair potential. then, the lir equation of state (eos) is extended for such a hypothetical mixture. also, three basic compounds, namely, propane, n-butane and cyclohexane, are used to obtain the contribution of...

a mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der waals mixing rule at low densities. the effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. the results of calculation are compared with the molecular dynami...

alkanolamine solutions such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (amp) are widely used in chemical industries for the removal of acid gases such as co2 and h2s. in this work, the density of co2, amp, water, and amp solutions using the goharshadi–morsali–abbaspour equation of state “gma eos” in the extended 50-degree range of temperatures (313.06-362.65 k) and pressures (0.5-40 mpa) was calculated. th...

solubility of high molecular weight n-paraffins in supercritical carbon dioxide has been a matter of interest to many researchers. however, not sufficient solubility experimental data are available although the methods by which the experimental data are obtained have many varieties. utilizing cubic equations of state is an effective method for solubility prediction of n-paraffins in supercritic...
