Abstract

AbstractIn this study, the simplified version of statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) equation of state (EOS) developed by Fu and Sandler is modified by replacing the dispersion term of this EOS with the Haghtalab–Mazloumi equation. This new SAFT‐based EOS has three adjustable parameters for non‐associating compounds and five adjustable parameters for associating compounds. The adjustable parameters of the new EOS are obtained by simultaneously fitting vapour pressures and liquid densities of pure substances. The new EOS shows better results in correlating vapour pressure and saturated liquid densities than SSAFT EOS for a selection of non‐associating and associating substances. Then, by using proper mixing rules, the new EOS is extended for mixtures. Both self‐associating and cross associating binary mixtures are used to test the capability of the new EOS in vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) calculations, and the results demonstrate good accuracy of the new EOS.
