Excerpt
Introduction: Numerous equations can be used to represent the vapor pressure pl+g of a pure fluid (e.g., Ambrose, 1980, 1986, Ambrose and Tsonopoulos, 1995, Iglesias-Silva et al., 1987, Ruzicka and Majer, 1996). Of particular significance is the empirical equation proposed by Wagner (1974) and Wagner et al. The subscript c identifies the critical condition and the ai are adjustable parameters determined by regression analysis. The critical pressure and temperature are incorporated in the vapor pressure equation as reducing parameters. Section 2 provides an analysis of the critical temperatures and pressures of the normal alkanes used for these parameters. The coefficients and the particular functional form of Eq. (1) were determined with statistical methods. The functional form presented in Eq. (1) can be written...
