Vapour-liquid equilibrium at low pressures from the back equation of state

Abstract

The BACK semiempirical equation of state was employed to determine the excess thermodynamic functions of five binary mixtures composed of benzene with cyclohexane, n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-octane at 298.15 K. Two sets of mixing rules are discussed and values of the excess thermodynamic functions of equimolar solutions, calculated on their basis, are compared with experimental data. The calculated and experimental equilibrium data are compared in the x-y diagrams.
