“…(23) Values of pure component molecular size and area parameters r and q for MTBE and TAME were taken from the literature, (3) and the others were taken from Prausnitz et al (21) The values of q used in the modified UNIQUAC and extended UNIQUAC models, fixed to obtain a good representation for binary and ternary phase equilibria studied previously, were obtainable from the references. (9,10) The q used in the modified UNIQUAC model was q 0.75 for MTBE and TAME, 0.74 for water, and 0.50 for ethanol. The q used in the extended UNIQUAC model was q 0.20 for MTBE and TAME, 0.96 for water, and 0.92 for ethanol.…”
