An extended saturated liquid density equation

The recently developed saturated liquid density correlation of Iglesias-Silva and Hall for halogenated paraffins is extended to other classes of compounds involving paraffins, cycloparaffins, olefins, diolefins, cyclic-olefins, aromatics, alcohols, ethers, liquefied inorganic gases, and others. The two adjustable parameters of the correlation are optimized and reported for 126 compounds. The average error for 5377 experimental data points was 0.27%. The correlation is extended to multicomponent mixtures. A set of mixing rules is proposed. The correlation with this set of mixing rules is used to predict the saturated liquid density of 86 multicomponent systems consisting of LNG, heavy hydrocarbons, CO₂, H₂S, alcohols and halogenated paraffins. The average of error for 1378 experimental data points was 1.03% with 0 bias with respect to experimental data. These values compare well with the values from well-known correlations. For polar compounds or multicomponent systems containing polar compounds, the computation of saturated liquid density by this correlation shows superiority with respect to the other correlations.
