In the liquid and vapor phases, the graph depicts the relationship between experimental and

measured pressure and component structure values. Both the calculated and experimental
results have the same pattern but different values. The graph also shows that at the defined
values of the component 1 liquid phase composition, there is a difference in the pressure values
between the predicted and experimental ones. The Van Laar GE/RT equation was used to
calculate the values.
The experimental liquid properties of the system Decane/1-Butanol at 373.15 K are seen in the
scatter plot above using the four (4) thermodynamic functions that shows the relation between
the experimental pressure and composition values. It means that while the natural logarithm of
gamma 1 descends in terms of its value in relation to part 1 liquid phase composition, the
natural logarithm of gamma 2 ascends.
The established correlation was implied to the measured Van Laar parameters using the
equations given below for the recalculation of the activity coefficients, resulting in the prediction
of the Decane/1-Butanol system's Vapor-Liquid behavior.
The graph indicates that there is a significant variation in the results. The experimental values
differ significantly from those determined using the Van Laar parameters. The calculation's error
can be traced back to the estimation of the Van Laar parameters. Only several values in the
experimental results come close to matching the measured value.
