Using Carnahan-Starling equation for hard spheres and a lattice model with an attractive potential, a new twoparameter equation of state for pure gases is derived. Using this equation, compressibility factors are calculated and compared with Nelson-Obert generalized compressibility factor charts. The results show that the agreement of this equation with the experimental Nelson-Obert charts is similar to that of Redlich-Kwong equation in the average. But parameters and terms of the new equation have physical meanings which are more definite than those of Redlich-Kwong equation.

Fossil energy sources are limited in their sustainable use and expansion due to global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions. Hydrogen is considered as a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. To ensure the stable long-term storage, it is necessary to accurately predict its thermodynamic properties at cryogenic temperatures. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate thermodynamic properties, such as saturated vapor pressure and density, enthalpy, and entropy of liquid and gas, using cubic equations of state that demonstrate relatively simple relationships. Among the three types of equations of state (Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK), and Peng-Robinson (PR)), the SRK model exhibited relatively accurate prediction results for various physical properties.

TVC is a kind of ejector which entrains low pressure working fluid by using the high pressure working fluid. While most papers relating with ejectors treat the working fluid as an ideal gas for convenience, the fluid doesn't behave as the ideal gas when phase change occurs. In this study, numerical analysis is conducted by applying Redlich-Kwong equation of state instead of ideal gas equation of state. Two turbulent models are compared for the better prediction and SST k-${\omega}$ model is preferred rather than realizable k-${\epsilon}$ model by comparison. Energy loss at the diffuser inlet and throat using the real gas equation of state is relatively greater than that using ideal gas law. For the real gas case, pressure increase due to shock train at the diffuser outlet is relatively smaller than the ideal gas case, but both cases have the same pressure increase due to a pseudo shock.

Cubic and non-cubic equations of state are used to calculate the vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE) compositions for liquified natural gas(LNG) containing hydrogen sulfide. Modified Benedict-Web-Robin EOS is chosen as a non-cubic equation of state while Peng-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong EOS are used for a cubic EOS. Modified Benedict-Web-Robin EOS. showed better predictability than the cubic EOS used for the systems $H_2S/CH_4,\;H_2S/iC_4H_{10},\;H_2S/N_2$. specially for liquid composition.

Brake theory of viscosity, which can sucessfully calculate the viscosity of real gases, dense gases and liquids, is extended to the binary gas mixture. Adjustable parameters are not involved, but the calculated results are good agreements with the experimental values at high pressure as well as low pressure. Corresponding state equation for viscosity can be obtained by using the Redlich-Kwong equation, so that we hope this equation may be useful for the supercritical fluid in engineering applications at high pressure around the critcal point.

The gas hydrates are probably most sensitive to climate change since they are stable only under specific conditions of high pressure and low temperature. One of the main factors responsible for formation of gas hydrates is the saturation of the gases with water vapor. Quantitative phase equilibrium data and understanding of the roles of water component in the phase behavior of the heterogeneous water-hydrocarbon-hydrate mixture are of importance and of engineering value. In this study, the water content of ethylene gas in equilibrium with hydrate and water phases were analyzed by theoretical and experimental methods at temperatures between 274.15 up to 291.75 K and pressures between 593.99 to 8,443.18 kPa. The experimental and theoretical enhancement factors (EF) for the water content of ethylene gas and the fugacity coefficients of water and ethylene in gas phase were determined and compared with each other over the entire range of pressure carried out in this experiment. In order to get the theoretical enhancement factors, the modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state was used. The Peng-Robinson equations and modified Redlich-Kwong equations of state were used to get the fugacity coefficients for ethylene and water in the gas phase. The results predicted by both equations agree very well with the experimental values for the fugacity coefficients of the compressed ethylene gas containing small amount of water, whereas, those of water vapor do not in the ethylene rich gas at high temperature for hydrate formation locus.

A comparison of predicted molar volume, vapor - liquid equilibrium, enthalpy of vaporization, droplet size history. and vaporization rates with several forms of equation of state has been made. The equation of state (EOS) investigated in this study includes the EOS given by Redlich - Kwong, the Soave - Redlich - Kwong, and the Peng - Robinson. Numerical results indicate that the Peng - Robinson EOS yields more accurate predictions of vapor - liquid equilibrium under a broader range of temperature and pressure conditions, especially at high pressures and near the critical point.

In this study, we have completed the simulation and optimization work for the deethanizer column which was used for natural gas processing plant or saturated gas plant in a petrochemical process. An optimal feed stage location which minimizes the reboiler heat duty was determined. For the modeling of deethanizer, PRO/II with PROVISION was used and Soave modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state model was selected. Through this study, we have found that the minimum number of stage and minimum reflux ratio for separation were 9.03 and 0.62437, respectively and the theoretical stage number was 12, optimal feed stage location was 9 and minimum reboiler heat duty was $12.7470{\times}10^6\;KJ/hr$.

A numerical method for determining the temperature vartiation in a natural gas transmission line is presented. By considering an element of the gas pipeline and assuming radially lumped heat transfer at steady-state conditions, the energy equation is developed. The integration of the developed nonlinear differential equation is done numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme. The results of the present study have been compared with the results of Coulter equations, and show a fairly good agreement.

The equation of state is widely utilized as a simple model for the prediction of gas properties. There are several equations of state and they often make diverse and hard to believe output of gas properties. In this study, We show a reliability of equation of state for nitrogen, oxygen and argon in pressure range from 1 bar to 30 bar and temperature range from liquefaction to room temperature. We use three equations of state such as Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson and BWR-LS' equation of state which provided in the Aspen plus. The results were compared with literatures and virial equation. Finally, We report the differences of process calculation of distillation column and expansion turbine in cryogenic air separation plant with change of equation of state.
