A Statistical Thermodynamic Model of Vapor-Liquid Interfacial Tension for Liquid Mixtures at High Pressure

1 INTRODUCTIONInterfacial tension of pure fluids and their mixtures is an important property for the development,design and simulation of many chemical processes.The interfacial behavior has important prac-tical applications in material science,environment science and chemical engineering separationprocesses as well as in secondary or tertiary recovery of petroleum.Although interfacial phenom-ena are rather complicated,interfacial tension of free vapor-liquid interface is considered as a firstand fundamental step of the study.For example,enhanced carbon dioxide“flooding”
