A central issue in the equation of state (EoS) development is to describe accurately fluid density and thus other thermodynamic properties based on it. This study attempts investigate modeling high-pressure mixtures, particularly related reservoir fluids, by cubic non-cubic EoS. large database binary mixtures petroleum fluids was established used compare some typical EoS, including SRK, PR, PC-...

The phase behavior of nitrogen + n-alkanes is studied within the framework of the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range (SAFT-VR). The effect of the quadrupole moment of nitrogen on the phase behavior is considered through an extension of the SAFT-VR equation that includes an additional contribution to the Helmholtz free energy due to quadrupolar interactions. A ...

An extensive comparison of SRK, CPA, and PC-SAFT for the speed of sound in normal alkanes has been performed. The results reveal that PC-SAFT captures the curvature of the speed of sound better than cubic EoS, but the accuracy is not satisfactory. Two approaches have been proposed to improve PC-SAFT’s accuracy for speed of sound: (i) putting speed of sound data into parameter estimation; (ii) p...

Classical and nonclassical calculations of nucleation rates are presented for methanol, an associating vapor system. The calculations use an equation of state (EOS) that accounts for the effects of molecular association based on the statistical association fluid theory (SAFT). Two forms of classical nucleation theory (CNT) were studied: a Gibbsian form known as the P-form and the standard or S-...

The perturbed chain-statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state (EoS) is applied, and its performance assessed using a reliable free-to-access benchmark thermodynamic database developed by the authors. A total 200 non-electrolytic binary systems are included in database, which divided into nine groups according to character components, that is, their ability be involved hyd...

The minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is one of the crucial and substantial parameters in the gas injection projects for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This parameter indicates the minimum pressure at constant temperature and composition conditions for reaching 100 percent of the oil production recovery which leads to a huge economic income. Therefore, an inaccurate prediction of the MMP may lea...

Nitriles are strong polar compounds showing a highly non-ideal behavior, which makes them challenging systems from a modeling point of view; in spite of this, accurate predictions for the vapor-liquid equilibria of these systems are needed, as some of them, like acetonitrile (CH3CN) and propionitrile (C2H5CN), play an important role as organic solvents in several industrial processes. This work...

The precipitation of asphaltenes in two Mexican crude oils was measured using a combination of high-pressure isothermal expansion and atmospheric titration with nalkanes. Experiments were carried out from the liveand tank-oil type of samples of the same crude oils. For the oils investigated, compositional data, precipitation phase diagrams, and bubble point pressures are reported. A theoretical...
