5.2.3 Phase behavior modeling<br />
CHAPTER 5<br />
Modeling of the phase behavior of relevant systems was done using the Cubic plus Association (CPA)<br />
Equation of State (EoS, Eq. 5‐2) [21‐23]:<br />

The first two terms are identical to the Soave‐Redlich‐Kwong EoS; three substance specific<br />
parameters are needed, i.e. b and for calculation of α(T) according to Eq. 5‐3 both a0 and c1.<br />

The third term describes the association of molecules, the critical part being the association term XAi<br />

The association term can be simplified depending on the type of association scheme, i.e. the number<br />
j<br />
of association sites on the molecules and the cross association [27]. The association strength Δ<br />
is<br />
calculated according to Eq. 5‐5.<br />
