GAS_BINARY_PARAMETERS

This keyword data block is used to define the binary interaction coefficients of gas components for Peng-Robinson gases.

Explanation

Line 0: GAS_BINARY_PARAMETERS

GAS_BINARY_PARAMETERS is the keyword for the data block.

Line 1: Gas component 1, gas component 2, coefficient

Gas component 1, gas component 2–Names of the gas component pair for which the interaction coefficient is defined. These names are gases that are defined in PHASES definitions.

coefficient –Binary interaction coefficient for the gas-component pair.

Notes

The order of the gas-component pair is irrelevant; the same binary interaction coefficient applies regardless of the order in which the pair is defined. Previously, only interaction coefficients that were defined internally were used in Peng-Robinson gas calculations. The example data block above gives the internal, hard-coded values. The hard-coded interaction coefficients will still be used if they are not modified by a GAS_BINARY_PARAMETERS data block in the database file or the input file.
