The paper at first, analyzes three equations of state--MH equation, RKS equation, SHBWR equation for their adaptation in liquid state. The equations are solved with special mixing regulation on the condition of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) for NARMs and then the paper evaluates thermodynamic properties of this mixture for four conditions by method of the complementary funcation. This paper co...
