Abstract
Recently Escobedo and Mansoori (AIChE J. 42(5): 1425, 1996) proposed a new expression, originally derived from statistical mechanics, for the surface tension prediction of pure fluids. In this report, the same theory is extended to the case of mixtures of organic liquids. Using the proposed equation surface tensions of 55 binary mixtures are predicted within an overall 0.50 AAD% which is better than the other available prediction methods. Using a corresponding states expression the surface tension of all the 55 binary mixtures are predicted within an overall 2.10 AAD%. The proposed model is also applicable to multicomponent liquid mixtures.
