Abstract
In a previous work, we showed that the incorporation of a temperature-dependent volume-translation parameter in an equation of state for pure components alters necessarily the prediction of 1-phase and 2-phase properties. On the contrary, if a temperature-independent volume translation parameter is used, most of the 1-phase and 2-phase properties are preserved.In the present study, the influence of the incorporation of a volume translation in an equation of state, on mixture properties (essentially phase equilibria and properties of mixing) is addressed. It is first assumed that the volume-translation parameter of a mixture (c) is related to mole fractions through a quadratic mixing rule involving mutual volume translation parameters (cij). It is found that only a simple arithmetic-mean combining rule for cij makes it possible to preserve phase equilibria. Using such a combining rule entails that the quadratic mixing rule for the c parameter degenerates to a linear mixing rule.Secondly, it is proved that properties of mixing (gM, hM, sM, cPM …) are preserved if a linear mixing rule is used for the c parameter and altered otherwise.
