Application of a new equation of state to energy carriers

Resumo

A new equation of state (IR EOS) recently reported for liquids and gases has been utilized to predict the densities of some energy carriers at different temperatures, pressures. The ability of IR EOS is examined by comparing its results with experimental data for some energy carriers in homogeneous gas, homogeneous liquid and gas–liquid transition region from low to very high pressures. The IR EOS gives excellent results in homogenous gas and homogeneous liquid region while its predictions in gas–liquid transition have more deviations. The average absolute deviation between calculated and experimental densities for 968 data points of 12 energy carriers is 0.33% over the entire range of data with a maximum pressure of 1000 MPa.
