3.1 Introduction

Knowledge of the physical properties and the thermodynamic behavior of fluids is important in designing, operating, and optimizing any chemical and physical process. Considering the compositional variations and their various applications, it would require infinite time and effort to measure all physical properties and study their phase behavior, while the additional cost of such practice could be unbearable for the oil and gas industry. It is no surprise that from early on scientists and engineers have used empirical or more advanced, first‐principle models to predict fluid behavior of diverse petroleum mixtures over a wide range of conditions, based on a limited amount of experimental measurements [1]. The increase in computing power has given the opportunity of making numerous calculations ...
