A New PC-SAFT Model for Pure Water, Water–Hydrocarbons, and Water–Oxygenates Systems and Subsequent Modeling of VLE, VLLE, and LLE

Accurate analytic thermodynamic modeling of water and its mixtures with hydrocarbon and oxygenates is difficult even with new and advanced equations of state such as the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT). Several attempts have been made in the past by various authors to solve this issue. However, current models generally fail to describe simultaneously and accurately pure water properties (especially its liquid...
