Equation of state for solid-liquid-vapor coexistence for heavy n-alkane

Abstract

The equation of state to predict solid-liquid-vapor coexistence of heavy n-alkane is developed. In the equation of state, their parameters are functions of the n-alkane molecular weight and were correlated with their corresponding values from methane (16.04g/mol) to eicosane (280.53g/mol) published in reference Chem. Eng. Commun., 209:2, 171, (2022); and the experimental melting temperature value of some heavy n-alkanes (from 100g/mol until 600g/mol).
