Polymer Methods

 

The polymer thermodynamic methods are listed below. The first three are activity coefficient K-value models using ideal enthalpy and density. SAFT and PHSC are equations of state which predict all the required thermodynamic properties.

 

The following polymer models are available:

 

Flory-Huggins Theory (FLORY)

K-values: FLORY method

Enthalpies, entropies, densities, vapor fugacities: Ideal method

 

Free volume modification to UNIFAC (Free Volume)

K-values: UNIFAC Free Volume method

Enthalpies, entropies, densities, vapor fugacities: Ideal method

 

Advanced Lattice Model

K-values: Advanced Lattice Model

Enthalpies, entropies, densities, vapor fugacities: Ideal method

 

SAFT (Statistical-Associating Fluid Theory EOS)

K-values, enthalpies, entropies, densities, vapor fugacities: SAFT

 

PHSC (Perturbed Hard-Sphere Chain EOS)

K-values, enthalpies, entropies, densities, vapor fugacities: PHSC

 

Additional Information

Descriptions of the individual thermodynamic methods may be accessed from the Thermodynamic System - Modification Window by selecting the type of property, i.e., K-value, liquid enthalpy, etc., the method and pushing the Help button.

More detailed information can be found in PRO/II Reference Manual.

 

Polymer components must be defined in the Definition of Polymer Components Window.
