Abstract

A new correlation has been developed for the densities of saturated liquids and their mixtures. The correlation is relatively easy to use and is applicable to a wide variety of liquids. The saturated liquid density correlation is flexible and consistent and requires only reduced temperature, acentric factor, and a characteristic volume for each pure compound. Mixing rules are given. When tested against a data base of 2 657 points of pure compound liquid density data for 97 hydrocarbons and 1 851 points for 103 other compounds, the new correlation gave an average absolute error of 0.37\% compared to 2.14\% for the Yen-Woods correlation and 0.50\% for the SDR equation as modified by Spencer and Danner. For 2 994 points of liquid mixture density data for 167 mixtures, the new correlation gave an average absolute error of 1.40\% compared to 5.64\% for the Yen-Woods correlation and 2.95\% for the SDR equation. Characteristic volumes are listed for 200 compounds; they are generalized as functions of acentric factor for various types of compounds and are compared to critical volumes.
