Abstract

The principle of corresponding states, with one of its many extensions, is used to predict the thermodynamic properties of the binary mixtures N2-CH4 and CH4-C2H6. Comparisons of the predicted properties with experimental data are given to illustrate some of the powers and problems associated with the method. Problems encountered in modeling mixtures, which are not necessarily associated with the mathematical model of the equation of state, are also discussed. Wide-range equations of state for the two binary systems mentioned above are presented.
