Development of a thermodynamically-consistent alpha function for the Patel-Teja-Valderrama equation of state

A new, four-parameter alpha function with thermodynamically consistent parameter values is developed for predicting vapor pressures using the Patel-Teja-Valderrama equation of state. The form of the alpha function was derived by keeping in mind the thermodynamic consistency rules as provided by the...
