Evaluation of thermodynamic consistency of isobaric and isothermal binary vapor–liquid equilibrium data using the PAI test II, alcohol + n-alkane, +aromatic, +cycloalkane systems

The thermodynamic consistency of binary vapor–liquid equilibrium data has been examined for 46 binary alcohol + hydrocarbon systems with 310 data sets in total (145 isobaric and 165 isothermal sets) using the PAI test proposed in our previous study. The PAI test permits an overall check of the data by combining three tests: a point test, an area test, and an infinite dilution test. In this work, the PAI test was incorporated with the NRTL equation for fitting data. The results of the PAI test for the vapor–liquid equilibrium data showed that the PAI test was able to strictly select reliable data.
