Introduction :
 Peng-Robinson is most enhanced in Hysys, highest T & P range, has special
treatment for key components, largest binary interaction database: good
standard for hydrocarbons

 PRSV: extends PR to moderately non-ideal systems and better represents

poor components and mixtures. Adds a new parameter to the equation.
Slower calculation speeds than Peng-Robinson

 SRK: modified Redlich Kwong model. Similar accuracy/use as Peng Rob,

but in Hysys SRK has less enhancements than PR.

Vapour Pressure Models:

These models OK for hydrocarbons. Historically they were used since
computationally they are easier. Now with modern computers EOS models are
easy to run, so vapour pressure models are used less often. However, Braun K10 is
still good for vacuum units.

-Modified Antonie: OK for low pressure ideal systems

-Braun K10 Model: strictly applicable to only heavy Hydrocarbons @ low
pressures
-Esso K: only heavy Hydrocarbons at low Pressures

Semi-Empirical methods:
-Chao-Seader: hydrocarbons if T = 0-500C, P<10,000 kPa
-Grayson-Streed: Chao-Seader extention with emphasis on hydrogen, good if
heavy hydrocarbon with lots of hydrogen like hydrotreaters. Is recommended for
vacuum units.
