USE OF THE CORRESPONDING STATES PRINCIPLE FOR MIXTURES CONTAINING POLAR COMPONENTS

It is shown that the Corresponding States Principle and its extensions using shape factors can be used for the calculation of critical states of mixtures containing polar components. The results show that the van der Waals one-fluid model works well for such mixtures and that a nonlinear pseudocritical rule for the critical compressibility factor may be useful in extending other methods of calculation, such as those employing equations of state, to mixtures containing polar components. © 1979, American Chemical Society.
