the thermodynamic properties of fluids can be predicted using the global equations of state. among these thermodynamic properties of fluids, we choose the densities of the liquid and vapor phases. this paper considers the application of the crossover model to the vapor-liquid rectilinear diameter of sulfurhexafluoride. we also present a comparison of the crossover model equation with the experi...
