Abstract
In this paper, a theoretical method has been introduced for developing the crossover Peng–Robinson (CPR) equation of state (EoS) which incorporates the non-classical scaling laws asymptotically near the critical point into a classical analytic equation further away from the critical point. The CPR EoS has been adopted to describe the thermodynamic properties of some pure fluids (normal alkanes from methane to n-butane and carbon dioxide) such as density, saturated pressure, isochoric heat capacity and speed of sound. Unlike the original method for the crossover transformation made by Chen et al. (Phys Rev A 42:4470–4484, 1990), we have proposed a procedure which adding an additional term into the crossover transformation to obtain the thermophysical properties at the critical point more exactly. It is shown that this new crossover method yields a satisfactory representation of the thermodynamic properties close to the critical point for pure fluids relative to the original PR EoS.
