In conclusion, it appears that none of the ferrous nitrosyl chelates we studied exist as dinitrosyls under the conditions reported. The Fe^IDA and Fen-citrate systems are complicated by the multiple charge states of the chelates and the formation of hydroxyl complexes in addition to nitrosyl complexes.

Color changes also occured during the titration after 3 equiv of base was added. The solution turned from pale yellow to yellow-green and then to dark green as more base was added. This could also be due to the formation of the mono- and dihydroxy Fen(cit3_) complexes. The color was different from that obtained in titrations of ferrous solutions without citrate, indicating that the Fen(OH)2 complex is responsible for it.

Application to Mixtures of the Peng-Robinson Equation of State with Fluid-Specific Parameters Zhong Xu* and Stanley I. Sandler* Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware 19716

The vapor-liquid equilibria and volumetric behavior of mixtures have been calculated by using the Peng-Robinson equation of state with fluid-specific temperature-dependent parameters proposed earlier. Illustrative calculations show that this modification of the Peng-Robinson equation of state results in a great improvement in the simultaneous correlation of phase compositions and phase densities and excellent predictions of molar volumes in the one-phase region. The Peng-Robinson (1976) equation of state is v

In a previous paper (Xu and Sandler, 1987), we developed fluid-specific, temperature-dependent expressions for and \pb from vapor pressures, saturated liquid volume, and supercritical volumetric data. The form of these expressions satisfies the classical critical conditions and, unlike the equations used by others (Yarborough, 1979; Morris and Turek, 1986) leads to and ipb and their first derivatives, which are continuous in the critical region. Futher, the predictions for pure component molar volumes and vapor pressures obtained with these parameters were found

consistent, method in which a cubic equation of state is used to predict the compositions of the coexisting phases and then separate correlations are used to compute the phase densities based on these equilibrium compositions. We show here that using the equation of state parameters we have proposed, this is not necessary in that both the densities and compositions of the coexisting phases can be accurately and simultaneously predicted using the Peng-Robinson equation of state. Further, for reservoir simulations, the additional slight complexity of temperature-dependent parameters is unimportant since petroleum reservoirs remain at constant temperature, so that the equation of state parameters need be calculated only once. to Mixtures In applying the Peng-Robinson (P-R) equation of state to mixtures, we used the van der Waals one-fluid combining rules (1980)

to be much better than those obtained with the standard, generalized parameters. Here we study the use of this temperature-dependent parameter Peng-Robinson equation of state for mixtures by considering the vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) and volumetric behavior of a number of binary mixtures. We find that using our fluid-specific, temperature-dependent parameters, there is a slight improvement in the phase equilibrium (bubble point P and y) predictions using the Peng-Robinson equation of state and a great improvement in the saturated volumes of the coexisting phases. Obviously, there are numerous advantages to the accurate prediction of both phase compositions and densities with a simple equation of state. For example, one important potential application of this work is to petroleum reservoir simulation. There not only are accurate phase compositions required, but so are the phase densities in order to predict the interfacial tensions and viscosities needed in the fluid dynamic part of the simulation. Since reservoir simulations are very computer intensive, it is not uncommon to use a hybrid, but thermodynamically in-

is the binary interaction coefficient with the where temperature-dependent fluid specific \pa and 1pb parameters we have proposed earlier (Xu and Sandler, 1987). First we considered the applicability of this modification of the P-R equation to the volumetric behavior of binary mixtures in the single-phase region. Here four systems were considered, covering a wide range of temperatures and pressures. In all cases, the binary interaction coefficient was set equal to zero, as volumetric predictions are Since no binary rather insensitive to the value of parameter was used, the results are true predictions rather than correlations. A summary comparison of the volumetric predictions for the P-R equation with both original and temperature-dependent, fluid-specific parameters is given in Table I. There we see that the P-R equation with two temperature-dependent parameters results in an average absolute
