Abstract

This study uses the differential evolution optimization algorithm to adjust the coefficient of Arrhenius-shape correlation for calculating hydrogen (H2) solubility in alcohol-based media. The pre-exponential and exponential parts of this correlation are the functions of pressure and absolute temperature, respectively. Since this model has been validated using seventeen alcohol/hydrogen binary mixtures, it is the most generalized correlation in this regard. The proposed Arrhenius-shape correlation predicts 285 laboratory solubility measurements with the absolute average relative deviation (AARD%) of 3.28% and regression coefficient (R2) of 0.99589. The accuracy of the developed model has also been compared with two empirical correlations and three equations of state suggested in the literature. The Arrhenius-shape model has 15% and 50% smaller AARD than the most accurate empirical correlation and equation of state, respectively. Simulation findings demonstrate that all alcohol/hydrogen mixtures thermodynamically behave based on Henry’s law. Hydrogen solubility in alcohols increases by increasing either pressure or temperature. 1-octanol has the maximum ability to absorb the H2 molecules.
