“…In particular, if the structure is lower tridiagonal, the solution approach is simpler than when the structure is not lower tridiagonal, in which case, simultaneous solution (or an extra iteration-loop) is necessary. The property models analyzed in this paper are cubic equations of state [10], advanced non-cubic equations of state: CPA [11][12][13]; PC-SAFT [14,15]; and SAFT [16], models for polymer systems: GC-Flory [17]; and models for electrolyte systems: UNIQUAC-Elec: [18,19]. Finally, these aspects of property models are discussed in connection with parameter regression and in the common process engineering calculations of two-phase separations and two-phase equilibrium.…”
