Preliminary Evaluation of the SPUNG Equation of State for Modelling the Thermodynamic Properties of CO2 - Water Mixtures

Abstract

The accuracy of the extended corresponding state equation SPUNG is preliminary evaluated for the density, and Vapor Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) calculations of the CO2 -water mixtures. The evaluation is done by comparing the behavior of SPUNG to experimental data whenever possible, and three other state-of-the-art equations of state (EoS) of different classes. The three EoS are; the cubic equation Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) with the van der Waals mixing rules, SRK with Huron Vidal mixing rules (SRK-HV), and the multi-parameter approach GERG-2004. The latter is used as a reference in the single phase region. The single phase studies for both liquid and vapor state are conducted at a mixture of 98% CO2 and 2% H2O. Recommendation for future work is highlighted. Copyright © 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
