Prediction of Phase Equilibria and Transport Properties Using ASOG and PRASOG Group Contribution Methods: A Review

Abstract

Half century has passed since the first version of Analytical Solution of Groups (ASOG) model was proposed. Now the ASOG model is well known as a group contribution method as well as UNIFAC. Although the ASOG model was designed for prediction of vapor-liquid equilibrium around the atmospheric pressure, the applications are extended to not only the phase equilibria in the wide temperature and pressure ranges but also the transport properties. The function forms in the ASOG model, basically composed of Flory-Huggins equation and Wilson equation, can be applied for the prediction of the phase equilibria (vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, solid-liquid and vapor-solid) and the transport properties (kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity) of the mixtures with some modifications.
