With conventional one-fluid mixing rules, the equation of state is applicable to mixtures of small spherical molecules such as gases, nonspherical solvents, and chainlike polymers. The three pure-component parameters required for nonassociating molecules were identified for 78 substances by correlating vapor pressures and liquid volumes. The equation of state gives good fits to these properties and agrees well with caloric properties. When applied to vapor−liquid equilibria of mixtures, the equation of state shows substantial predictive capabilities and good precision for correlating mixtures. Comparisons to the SAFT version of Huang and Radosz reveal a clear improvement of the proposed model. A brief comparison with the Peng−Robinson model is also given for vapor−liquid equilibria of binary systems, confirming the good performance of the suggested equation of state. The applicability of the proposed model to polymer systems was demonstrated for high-pressure liquid−liquid equilibria of a polyethylene mixture. The pure-component parameters of polyethylene were obtained by extrapolating pure-component parameters of the n-alkane series to high molecular weights.
