Use of the SSF equations in the Kojima-Moon-Ochi thermodynamic consistency test of isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data

Abstract

The Kojima-Moon-Ochi (KMO) thermodynamic consistency test of vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) measurements for 32 isothermal data sets of binary systems of various complexity was applied using two fitting equations: the Redlich-Kister equation and the Sum of Symmetrical Functions. It was shown that the enhanced reliability of the fitting of the experimental data can change the conclusions drawn on their thermodynamic consistency in those cases of VLE data sets that are estimated to be near the border of consistency.
