“…For the pressure the expansion can be write as (Pitzer, 1986(Pitzer, , 1989(Pitzer, , 1990(Pitzer, , 1998Pitzer and Tanger, 1988;Tanger and Pitzer, 1989;Hovey et al, 1990;Pabalan and Pitzer, 1988) p T where p H 2 O (T,r) represents the pressure of pure water at T and d as derived from Wagner and Pruß (2002) fundamental The physical signifi cance of each of these parameters was discussed by Pitzer (1986Pitzer ( , 1989Pitzer ( , 1990Pitzer ( , 1998 and Tanger and Pitzer (1989). Hovey et al (1990) Pitzer (1986) was improved and used by Tanger and Pitzer (1989) to describe the pTx properties of NaCl(aq) and KCl(aq) solutions. The Pitzer-Tanger-Hovey (PTH) EOS (Hovey et al, 1990) for H 2 O + NaCl solutions is based on an expansion of pressure around the critical point of pure water (see Equation (2.47)).…”
