Prediction of vapor-liquid equilibrium data of the system MTBE plus methanol plus ethanol by PRSV2 EOS
The Stryjek and Vera (1986) [9] modification of Peng-Robinson (PRSV2) equation of state has been applied for modeling vapor-liquid equilibrium of the systems MTBE + methanol, MTBE + ethanol and methanol + ethanol. Binary interaction parameters for mixing rules have been estimated by using experimental data at the atmospheric pressure. The calculated binary interaction parameters were used for predicting azeotropic behavior at high pressure and also for isobaric equilibrium points which showed an excellent agreement with experimental data. In addition, estimated binary interaction parameters for binary systems were used for ternary system (MTBE + methanol + ethanol). The predictions deviated only slightly from the experimental data. The results show PRSV2 can be used for VLE prediction of polar systems. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
