where aŋi, a∏, and a2⅛, as well as bθ2,b1,, and b2i, are the model (universal) constants.
The new EOS has a different hard chain term than the PC-SAFT equation of state;
therefore the first step was to obtain the universal constants from the experimental
data of n-alkanes, following the method proposed by Gross and Sadowski for the
estimation of the constants of the original PC-SAFT equation of state [48]. During
the regression process, it was found that the sensitivity of the model to the values of
b0i, bu and b2j was low, therefore the values of b0l, b∏ and b2, regressed by Gross and
Sadowski [48] were not changed. The аОг, a∏ and а constants were regressed using
the data for the n-alkane series from n-C3 to n-C10. The universal model constants
are reported in table 2.1. It should be noted that unlike the original work by Gross
and Sadowski [48], methane was not used during the regression. This is because the
chain length parameter of methane less than two. The hard chain term in SAFT-D
is undefined for values less than two, as it includes a contribution from dimerization.
The focus of this work being on long chain molecules and polymers, this problem is
not addressed here.
