Abstract

An equation of state (EOS) for the NH3−H2O system has been developed. This EOS incorporates a highly accurate end-member EOS and on an empirical mixing rule. The mixing rule is based on an analogy with high order contributions to the virial expansion for mixtures. Comparison with experimental data indicates that the mixed system EOS can predict both phase equilibria and volumetric properties for this binary system with accuracy close to that of the experimental data from 50°C and 1 bar to critical temperatures and pressures.
