In this report, we highlight the progress made and expected during the three-year period August 1, 1992 through July 31, 1995 on DOE Grant DE-FG02-92ER14294. Since the latter date is several months away, we include some discussion of work in progress and expected results, although we primarily concentrate on work that has been completed. The objectives of this research are four-fold: 1) Fundamental investigation of the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of asymmetric fluid mixtures through computer simulation; 2) Development of advanced, highly accurate predictive theories of mixture equilibrium properties; 3) Development and application of selection algorithm methodology and results from fundamental theory to the design of high accuracy mixture equations of state; 4) Application of new theoretical concepts and insights to the development of engineering design models. Significant progress is being been made in all of these areas as is described in the next two sections. In addition, publications, presentations and theses presenting the results of our ongoing DOE sponsored studies are in press or have appeared during the reporting period. These are summarized in the last section. 33 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
