A vapor pressure based model has been constructed to predict the closed cup flash points of binary miscible mixtures. The model utilizes a cubic-plus-association (CPA) equation of state (EoS) to thermodynamically describe the behavior of both liquid and vapor phases. The alkane-alkane and water-alcohol mixtures were selected to examine the predictive potential of the model. Compared to known models, which use the activity coefficient models, the proposed flash point calculation procedure has fewer binary interaction parameters (BIPs) and does not need the Antoine equation to calculate the vapor pressure of pure components. Moreover, another advantage is that by utilizing the published experimental flash point data, no binary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data are required to obtain the BIPs.
