Calculation of Critical Curves for Carbon Dioxide+n-Alkane Systems
Jinglin Yu, Shujun Wang, Yiling Tian and Wei Xu

Abstract: The critical curves of eight binary systems from carbon dioxide+methane to carbon dioxide+octane at temperatures from 200 to 570 K and pressures from 2.5 to 14.7 MPa have bee calculated. The critical pressures, the critical temperatures, the critical mole fractions, the critical molar volumes and the critical densities are obtained by using an Equation of State (EOS), which consists of a hard body repulsion term and an additive perturbation term. The latter term accounts for the attractive molecular interactions and uses a square-well potential, so three adjustable parameters are required. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental data, the literature data and the calculated values.
