Abstract:The statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) in conjunction with the Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) approximation for intermolecular interaction is employed to construct a non-uniform equation of state (EOS) for n-alcohols. The molecular parameters for methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol and 1-hexanol are obtained by fitting to the experimental data of vapor-liquid equilibria and then used to predict the nucleation rates under the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The predictions… Show more
