Selecting the Right Thermodynamic Model
There are methods to choose the appropriate thermodynamic models; see Ref. 79. This choice depends on the nature of the property, composition of the mixture, operational pressure and temperature, and availability of the model’s parameters for the simulation; see Ref. 80. Below is a decision tree that can be used as a guide for choosing the thermodynamic model:
