Equations of state are applied in many industries including separation, oil and gas industry,
supercritical extraction, etc. As such, scientists including van der Waals; Soave and Peng–
Robinson; Hyene, Patel and Teja; Trebble and Bishnoi; and Aznar et al. developed equations of
state for these purposes, however, none of these equations could predict liquid density and
phase behavior of heavy hydrocarbons with an acceptable accuracy. In this work, the authors
presented a new two-parameter cubic equation of state based on perturbation theory for
predicting phase behavior of pure compounds and of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons. The
authors extended their calculations to some thermodynamic properties of pure compounds
including enthalpy and entropy of vaporization, heat capacity at constant pressure and volume,
sound velocity in gases and second virial coefficient, bubble pressure and vapor mole fraction of
binary mixtures.
Cubic equations of state are commonly used for calculating phase behavior of pure and mixture
fluids. These equations have a repulsive term and an attractive term and according to statistical
thermodynamics [10]:
𝑍 = 𝑍 ℎ𝑠 + 𝑍 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑡 (1)
where the first term is the repulsive forces and the second term is the attractive forces. In
general, cubic equations of state have the following form

Abstract
A new two-parameter cubic equation of state is presented based on perturbation theory for
predicting phase behavior of pure compounds and of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons. The
parameters of the new cubic equation of state are obtained as functions of reduced temperature and
acentric factor. The average deviations of the predicted vapor pressure, liquid density and vapor volume
for 40 pure compounds are 1.116, 5.696 and 3.083%, respectively. Also, the enthalpy and entropy of
vaporization have average deviations of the predicted values of 2.393 and 2.358%, respectively. The
capability of the proposed equation of state for predicting some other thermodynamic properties such as
compressibility, second virial coefficient, sound velocity in gases and heat capacity of gases are given,
too. The comparisons between the experimental data and the results of the new equation of state show
the accuracy of the proposed equation with respect to commonly used equations of state, i.e. PR and
SRK. The zeno line has been calculated using the new equation of state and the obtained result
compared with quantities in the literatures. Bubble pressure and mole fraction of vapor for 16 binary
mixtures are calculated. Averages deviations for bubble pressure and mole fraction of vapor are 9.380
and 2.735%, respectively
Introduction
Van der Waals [1] developed the first cubic equation of state that is a two-parameter equation in
which the effect of intermolecular forces and size of molecules are considered. Redlich and Kwong [2]
modified the attractive term of van der Waals equation of state. Soave [3] and Peng–Robinson [4]
proposed an equation of state that the parameters were defined as functions of reduced temperature and
acentric factor. These equations however could not predict liquid density and phase behavior of heavy
hydrocarbons with acceptable accuracy. Hyene [5], Patel and Teja [6], Trebble and Bishnoi [7] and
Aznar et al. [8] proposed cubic equations of state based on repulsive term of van der Waals EOS that it
had more than two parameters. Considering the most of references, we can find that the parameter b is
only a function of critical properties. Therefore, these EOS’s are poor in prediction of liquid density.
Considering temperature dependent parameter b in the proposed EOS has solved this problem. In this
work, a new two-parameter cubic equation of state based on perturbation theory is proposed. Using this
equation of state, some property such as thermodynamic properties of pure compounds including
enthalpy and entropy of vaporization, heat capacity at constant pressure and volume, sound velocity in
gases and second virial coefficient, bubble pressure and vapor mole fraction of binary mixtures are
calculated. The deviation between theoretical and experimental data show the new equation of state has
an acceptable accuracy for calculating the predicted properties.
Cubic equations of state have two terms, a repulsive and an attractive term. According to statistical
thermodynamics, the compressibility factor, Z, is [10]:
𝑍 = 𝑍ℎ𝑍 + 𝑍𝑍𝑍𝑍𝑍
(1)
where the first term is the repulsive forces and the second term is the attractive forces. In general, cubic
equations of state have the following form:
1+𝑍ƞ 4Ɵƞ
𝑍 = 1−𝑍ƞ − 𝑍𝑍 (1+4𝑍 (2)
1 ƞ )(1+4𝑍2 ƞ)
𝑍
Ɵ = 𝑍𝑍𝑍 (3)
𝑍
ƞ = 4𝑍 . (4)
In the above equations, parameters a and b are functions of critical properties. In Eq.(2), the first
term indicates the repulsive term and the second term indicates the attractive term. Choosing m = 0 and
n = 4 in Eq. (2) the van der Waals repulsive term is obtained. By changing of the parameters in Eq. (2),
the common equations of state are obtained. In this work, we choose m = n = 4 and the resulted
repulsive term is used of Scott equation as follows [11]:
𝑍+𝑍
𝑍ℎ𝑍
𝑍𝑍𝑍𝑍𝑍 = 𝑍−𝑍
