A comparison of predicted molar volume, vapor - liquid equilibrium, enthalpy of vaporization, droplet size history. and vaporization rates with several forms of equation of state has been made. The equation of state (EOS) investigated in this study includes the EOS given by Redlich - Kwong, the Soave - Redlich - Kwong, and the Peng - Robinson. Numerical results indicate that the Peng - Robinson EOS yields more accurate predictions of vapor - liquid equilibrium under a broader range of temperature and pressure conditions, especially at high pressures and near the critical point.
