| Abstract: | The dependence of predictive capabilities of SL EOS on the pure characteristic parameters of monomers and polymers is investigated. A sensitivity analysis study is carried out to understand the effect of these parameters on the predictive capability of SL EOS for different α‐olefin/polyolefins systems. Among all pure component characteristic parameters, the monomer characteristic temperature (T*monomer) has the largest impact on SL EOS predictive capability; whereas the polymer characteristic density (ρ*polymer) is found to have the smallest impact.  |
