This work investigated the applicability of the van der Waals cubic equation of state (EoS) with volume translation (vdWt), using the modified Huron-Vidal (MHV2) mixing rule with the UNIFAC (UNIQUAC Functional Activity Coefficients) model for describing phase equilibrium and density data for a series of complex systems over wide ranges of temperature (T) and pressure (P). Some limitations were identified in the prediction of the experimental data collected, e.g., systems with highly associating components, but in general, the EoS vdWt+MHV was able to satisfactorily represent both phase equilibrium and volumetric behavior.
En este trabajo se investigó la aplicabilidad de la ecuación de estado cúbica, de Van der Waals, con translación en volumen (vdWt). Para la regla de mezcla, se aplicó el método de Huron-Vidal modificado (MHV2), con el modelo UNIFAC (UNIQUAC funcional coeficiente de actividad) para describir datos del equilibrio de fases y la densidad para una serie de sistemas complejos; en amplias gamas de temperatura (T) y presión (P). Se encontraron algunas limitaciones en la predicción de los datos experimentales recogidos, por ejemplo, en los sistemas con componentes altamente asociativos, la ecuación vdWt+MHV demostró capacidad para representar de manera satisfactoria, tanto el equilibrio de fases como el comportamiento volumétrico.
