Prediction of vapor-liquid equilibrium from excess enthalpy data for binary ether +n-alkane or cyclohexane mixtures

Vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) is successfully predicted from excess enthalpy H^E data for binary ether + n-alkane or cyclohexane mixtures. Parameters for the continuous linear association model (CLAM) and for the UNIQUAC Model for the excess Gibbs energy G^E were determined from H^E data measured at a low temperature (ambient temperature). These parameters are used to predict VLE data at low and high temperatures. The dependence of the accuracy of predictions on the set of H^E data chosen to evaluate the parameters and on the model for G^E are discussed.
