Performance of predictive models in phase equilibria of complex associating systems: PC-SAFT and CEOS/GE

Cubic equations of state combined with excess Gibbs energy predictive models (like UNIFAC) and equations of state based on applied statistical mechanics are among the main alternatives for phase equilibria prediction involving polar substances in wide temperature and pressure ranges. In this work, the predictive performances of the PC-SAFT with association contribution and Peng-Robinson (PR) combined with UNIFAC (Do) through mixing rules are compared. Binary and multi-component systems involving polar and non-polar substances were analyzed. Results were also compared to experimental data avail...
