the compressibility factor of nonassociated chain molecules composed of hard convex core yukawa segments was derived with saft-vr and an extension of the barker-henderson perturbation theory for convex bodies. the temperature-dependent chain and dispersion compressibility factors were derived using the yukawa potential. the effects of temperature, packing fraction, and segment number on the com...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of direct and derivative thermodynamic properties of the Mie n-6 fluid (n=8, 10, and 12) have been performed for liquid to supercritical states. Using the results, an in depth test of the monomer-monomer interaction estimation of a recently derived statistical associating fluid theory of variable range (SAFT-VR) equation of state [Lafitte et al., J. Chem. Phy...

Echo methods combined with imaging evaluation allow for investigation of the inner structure of concrete members. Ultrasonic echo and impulse radar data are analysed with reconstruction calculation procedures like 3D-SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) and 3D-FT-SAFT (Fourier-Transform SAFT). From the representations of the 3D-data sets (B-scans and C-scans) the location of reinforceme...

In this study, two battery models for a high-power lithium ion (Li-Ion) cell were compared for their use in hybrid electric vehicle simulations in support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hybrid Electric Vehicle Program. Saft America developed the high-power Li-Ion cells as part of the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium/U.S. Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles programs. Based on test d...

In this paper, we present a systematic review of the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation state (PC-SAFT) EoS for thermodynamic modeling with application in asphaltene phase behavior simulation. The SAFT and its modified version known as PC-SAFT is briefly introduced. Then, uses tool highlighted. Crude oil characterization methods procedures are described focus on SARA-...
