Phase behavior predictions of the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation, a generalization of the van der Waals model, and the Kleintjens-Koningsveld (KK) equation, a lattice-gas model, are compared for pure CO/sub 2/, water, methane, n-butene, n-octane, n-decane, and some binary and ternary mixtures of these components. The KK equation is demonstrated to be more accurate than the PR equation for predicting the saturated liquid densities of pure fluids. The 2 equations are comparable in predictions of binary pressure-composition phase diagrams and ternary composition phase diagrams. Thus, for these properties the PR equation is preferred since it (1) is a simpler equation, (2) has fewer adjustable parameters, and (3) has parameters available for more systems than the KK equation. 23 references.
