prediction of thermodynamic behavior of binary mixtures by applying the crossover approach to soave–redlich–kwong equation of state

Thermodynamic analysis of binary mixtures near the critical region is essential for many chemical process designs. in this research, based on isomorphism principle and incorporating general crossover approach the original soave–redlich–kwong (srk) equation of state (eos) was developed for the binary mixtures. we have introduced an additional term in the crossover function in order to take into account the difference between the classical critical parameters and the real critical parameters. the applicability of this crossover eos was verified against methane–ethane mixture to describe their thermodynamic properties over a wide range of thermodynamic states, because of their wide applications. it is shown that based on this approach we can received too much more accuracy for predicting thermodynamic properties in comparison with classical form of srk eos.
