Motivation

the needed property values.
generality

Majority of the models available are
applicable to relatively simple

Cont..

distillation columns (Antoine equation) ,

classical pinch analysis of heat integration
(direct relationship of enthalpy with
temperature for fixed pressure and
composition.)

Background:
Two types of molecule
repulsion and dispersion(van der
Waals interactions)
weak electrostatic forces due to
dipoles
hydrocarbons, natural gas
constituents, simple organic and
inorganic molecules
standard cubic equation of
state,Peng-Robinson,SRK.

Cont..
strong, highly directional attractive forces non
spherical and/or possess highly directional
attractive forces such as hydrogen bonds.
electrolytes, polar solvents, polymers, liquid
crystals and plasmas
alcohols, acids and water, association is due to
intermolecular interactions between the
hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the so-called
hydrogen bonding

Cont..
Even for systems for which relatively
limited experimental data are
available
Modelling associating fluids such
as
aqueous systems
refrigerants
non-spherical systems such as
polymers.

Cont..

Non-spherical and/or possess highly directional

attractive forces such as hydrogen bonds.

Approach: fluid molecules are considered to be

chains composed of a fixed number of spherical,
interacting segments (monomers) and possibly a
number of short ranged attractive sites, where
association between two molecules can occur.

The segments repel each other at very short

separations and attract each other at larger
distances. Different fluids are made up of molecules
with different segment diameters and numbers of
segments.

Introduction
Saft is a theoretically derived model
based on
Perturbation theory
Integral equation theory
by considering a strong, spherically
symmetric attraction (Ionic system)
Residual part can be written as sum of
different terms

Cont..
ideal gas behavior:
The fluid is assumed to consist of
equal-sized, single spheres of finite
volume; only hard-sphere effects (i.e
repulsions between the spheres due
to their volume) are considered.
Segment-segment dispersive forces
are taken into account.

Cont..

One or two chain sites are added to

each monomer, and chain molecules
are formed by their bonding.

Association sites are introduced

leading to the formation of
association complexes.

Conclusion:
Saft are more physically realistic model
than standard cubic equation of state.
It can accurately predicts properties of
pure component and complex mixtures
Polar fluids (CO2,Refrigents)
Strongly associating fluid (hydrogen
bonding,e.g Water, Carboxylic acid
etc.)
Mixed electrolyte (Charged
surfactants)
Polymers
