The generalized van der Waals theory of pure fluids and mixtures: Annual report for the period December 1986 to November 1987
The objective of the work is to use the generalized van der Waals theory as derived earlier to: (1) understand the molecular level assumptions inherent in current thermodynamic models; (2) use theory and computer simulation studies to test these assumptions; and (3) develop new, improved thermodynamic models based on better molecular level assumptions. From this fundamental study, thermodynamic models are being developed that will be applicable to mixtures of molecules of widely different size and functionality, as occurs in the processing of heavy oils, coal liquids and other synthetic fuels, and in biological separations. An important aspect of the work is to reduce our fundamental theoretical developments to engineering practice through extensive testing and evaluation with experimental data on real mixtures.
