Generalized Correlations

 

The generalized correlations predict K-values with semi-rigorous methods. The Grayson-Streed and Chao-Seader methods use the Redlich-Kwong equation for the vapor fugacities and empirical correlations for the liquid fugacities. The Braun-K10 method uses a convergence pressure method. A variety of generalized correlations are used for the other properties, i.e., enthalpies, entropies and densities.
