“…With this approach, a very good global description of the n-alkane + water fluid-phase behaviour was achieved. In our current work, however, we re-parameterise the unlike interaction between water and the n-alkane (CH 3 and CH 2 ) groups to quantitatively reproduce our recently published experimental solubility data [40] of water in n-hexane, n-heptane, n-undecane, and n-hexadecane over the temperature range of 283-318 K, thus focusing on the organic hydrocarbon-rich phase. Only the unlike interaction energies (ε kl ) are re-parameterized, with all the remaining interaction parameters fixed by the combining rules (equations 4 and 6).…”
