The Redlich–Kwong equation is very similar to the Van der Waals equation, with only a slight modification being made to the attractive term, giving that term a temperature dependence. At high pressures, the volume of all gases approaches some finite volume, largely independent of temperature, that is related to the size of the gas molecules.
PSRK (short for Predictive Soave–Redlich–Kwong) [1] is an estimation method for the calculation of phase equilibria of mixtures of chemical components. The original goal for the development of this method was to enable the estimation of properties of mixtures containing supercritical components.
In 1972 G. Soave [4] replaced the term of the Redlich–Kwong equation with a function α(T,ω) involving the temperature and the acentric factor (the resulting equation is also known as the Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state; SRK EOS).
His new formula revolutionized the study of equations of state, and was the starting point of cubic equations of state, which most famously continued via the Redlich–Kwong equation of state [5] and the Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong. [6] The van der Waals equation of state can be written as
DWSIM is an open-source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator for Windows, Linux and macOS.DWSIM is built on top of the Microsoft .NET and Mono Platforms and features a graphical user interface (GUI), advanced thermodynamics calculations, reactions support and petroleum characterization / hypothetical component generation tools.
VTPR is a group contribution equation of state. [3] This is class of prediction methods combine equations of state (mostly cubic) with activity coefficient models based on group contributions like UNIFAC. [4] The activity coefficient model is used to adapt the equation of state parameters for mixtures by a so-called mixing rule. [5]
Kwong returned to 3M in 1951 as a senior chemical engineer in the Chemical Division, working there until retirement in 1980, at the age of 64. The development of the Redlich-Kwong equation was the last significant theoretical treatment of thermodynamics. He died of pneumonia in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on January 4, 1998, at the age of 81.
The cubic virial equation of state at is: = (+ +) It can be rearranged as: (+ +) = The factor / is the volume of saturated gas according to the ideal gas law, and can be given a unique name : = In the saturation region, the cubic equation has three roots, and can be written alternatively as: () = which can be expanded as: (+ +) + (+ +) = is a ...
