Abstract

The ammonia-water system is described by the Extended UNIQUAC model, which is an electrolyte model, formed by combining the original UNIQUAC model, the Debye-Hückel law and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. The model is limited to temperatures below the critical temperature of ammonia. Vapor-liquid equilibria are described within the experimental accuracy. The accuracy of enthalpy calculations is better than ±100 J mol-1, and heat capacity calculations deviate less than ±1% from experimental data. The accurate description of the thermal properties is achieved by taking speciation equilibria into account. Model parameters valid in the temperature range 0 - 130°C are given
