Group Contribution Method for Predicting the Phase Behavior of Binary Mixtures Containing Carbon Dioxide

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Explicit modelling of SOA formation from α-pinene photooxidation : sensitivity to vapour pressure estimation

The sensitivity of the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) to the estimated vapour pressures of the condensable oxidation products is explored. A highly detailed reaction scheme was generated for α-pinene photooxidation using the Generator for Explicit Chemistry and Kinetics of Organics in the Atmosphere (GECKO-A). Vapour pressures (P vap) were estimated with three commonly used struct...

Comment on “prediction of vapor pressures of solid organic compounds with a group contribution method”

In a recent paper appearing in this journal, Coutsikos et al. [1] presented a group contribution method for estimating vapor pressures of organic solids. The estimation required the compound’s molar entropy of fusion, fusSm, which was also calculated by a group contribution method developed by the authors. The proposed method gave satisfactory vapor pressure predictions for many organic compoun...
