Investigation of Thermodynamic Consistency Test of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in Room-Temperature Ionic liquids using Generic van der Waals Equation of State

Thermodynamic consistency test of isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of various binary systems containing Carbon dioxide (CO2)/Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been investigated in wide ranges of pressures in each isotherm precisely. In this paper Generic van der Waals (GvdW) equation of state (EoS) coupled with modified van der Waals Berthelot mixing rule has successfully been applied for correlating P-T-x binary data. The optimum parameters were obtained by minimizing the average relative deviation between modeled and experimental data based on the bubble pressure algorithm. Modeling is highly shown satisfactory in all cases which means that deviations in correlated data are low subsequently can prove that the flexibility and capability of the proposed model for thermodynamic consistency. Results of the consistency test represented ten isothermal experimental data set to be thermodynamically consistent, fourteen were declared to be not fully consistent and just four isothermal experimental data sets were represented to be thermodynamically inconsistent.
