Abstract

In this research, we use the Patel-Teja (PT) cubic equation of state [N.C. Patel, A.S. Teja, Chem. Eng. Sci. 37 (1982) 463-473.] and develop a crossover cubic model near to and far from the critical region, which incorporates the scaling laws asymptotically close to the critical point and it transformed into original classical cubic equations of state far away from the critical point. This equation of state is used to calculate thermodynamic properties of pure systems (carbon dioxide, normal alkanes from methane to heptane). We show that, over a wide range of states, the equation of state yields the saturated vapour pressure data and the saturated density data with a much better accuracy than the original PT equation of state.
