Abstract:The main objective is to show the effect of the choice of the most adequate combination of activity‐fugacity coefficient models on the vapor‐liquid phase equilibrium (VLE) data quality and on the calculation of the enthalpies of the different vapor and liquid streams in a refrigeration absorption machine. Six alkane binary mixtures, i.e. propane or n‐butane as refrigerants and n‐heptane, n‐octane, or n‐decane as absorbents, were considered as working fluids for their proven positive characteristics. Two activi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
