Predictive SRK (PSRK)<br />

This model uses the Redlich-Kwong-Soave equation-of-state for pure<br />

compounds. The mixing rules are the predictive Holderbaum rules, or PSRK<br />

method. Several alpha functions can be used in the PSRK equation-of-state<br />

model for a more accurate description of the pure component behavior. The<br />

pure component behavior and parameter requirements are described in<br />

Standard Redlich-Kwong-Soave and in Soave Alpha Functions.<br />

Note: You can choose any of the available alpha functions, but you cannot<br />

define multiple property methods based on this model using different alpha<br />

functions within the same run.<br />

The PSRK method is an example of modified Huron-Vidal mixing rules. A brief<br />

introduction is provided in Huron-Vidal Mixing Rules. For more details, see<br />

Predictive Soave-Redlich-Kwong-Gmehling Mixing Rules.<br />

Peng-Robinson-Wong-Sandler<br />

This model uses the Peng-Robinson equation-of-state for pure compounds.<br />

The mixing rules are the predictive Wong-Sandler rules. Several alpha<br />

functions can be used in the Peng-Robinson-Wong-Sandler equation-of-state<br />

model for a more accurate description of the pure component behavior. The<br />

pure component behavior and parameter requirements are described in Peng-<br />

Robinson, and in Peng-Robinson Alpha Functions.<br />

Note: You can choose any of the available alpha functions, but you cannot<br />

define multiple property methods based on this model using different alpha<br />

functions within the same run.<br />

The Wong-Sandler mixing rules are an example of modified Huron-Vidal<br />

mixing rules. A brief introduction is provided in Huron-Vidal Mixing Rules. For<br />

more details see Wong-Sandler Mixing Rules., this chapter.<br />

Redlich-Kwong<br />

The Redlich-Kwong equation-of-state can calculate vapor phase<br />

thermodynamic properties for the following property methods: NRTL-RK,<br />

UNIFAC, UNIF-LL, UNIQ-RK, VANL-RK, and WILS-RK. It is applicable for<br />

systems at low to moderate pressures (maximum pressure 10 atm) for which<br />

the vapor-phase nonideality is small. The Hayden-O'Connell model is<br />

recommended for a more nonideal vapor phase, such as in systems<br />

containing organic acids. It is not recommended for calculating liquid phase<br />

properties.<br />
