Abstract

The parameter mixing rules of the Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) equation of state are rewritten as Huron–Vidal mixing rules, where infinite-pressure activity coefficients are predicted by group contributions. Alkanes are treated as composed by one group type and aromatics by two types, aliphatic and aromatic. Hydrocarbon mixtures can be treated using one universal interaction parameter. Light compounds like methane, N2, CO2, H2S, etc. are treated as separate groups; each one requires a pair of parameters for its interactions with aliphatic and aromatic groups. Group interaction parameters were determined from experimental VLE data. From them, binary interaction constants of the classical quadratic mixing rules can directly be derived.
