A simple method, requiring the characterization factor as the only input, is proposed to predict
the enthalpies of the liquid and vapor petroleum fractions over a wide range of temperatures
and pressures. This method showed a comparable accuracy in the prediction of the petroleum
fraction enthalpy with much more complicated predictive methods in the literature. The proposed
method gave overall deviations of ±2.48% when tested on the data for liquid fractions and ±1.23%
when tested on the data for vapor fractions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
