Özet

A recently proposed mixing rule has been combined with a cubic equation of state to correlate the vapor-liquid equilibria of various polymer + solvent and solvent + long chain hydrocarbon mixtures. We find that the two-parameter version of this model can correlate the solvent partial pressure in concentrated polymer solutions with high accuracy over a range of temperatures and pressures with temperature-independent parameters. For the solvent + long chain hydrocarbon systems, for which accurate vapor-phase concentrations are also important, the model is best used as a three-parameter correlation. Advantages of this approach are that it extends the application of cubic equations of state to polymer + solvent systems in a simple fashion and that generally only temperature-independent parameters are required which allow for accurate interpolation and extrapolation of available data.
