Spring 2016 – Thermal behavior of polymer mixtures using statistical associating fluid theory with variable range interactions (SAFT-VR)

Affiliations:
Project Leader: J. Leonardo Gomez-Ballesteros
leogomezb@tamu.edu
Chemical Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Perla B. Balbuena, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
Summer 2016 (complete)
Team Size:
3 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Co-authorship on publications about this research, develop and strengthen programming skills in MATLAB, gain knowledge and experience in thermodynamics and some of its applications in industry. Opportunity to join research group, networking opportunities, teamwork opportunities.
Team Needs:
Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and use of MATLAB is preferred.
Description:
Understanding the behavior of mixtures in terms of their thermodynamic properties provides the necessary elements to allow the design of chemical processes that maximize yield of a desired product. We use a novel equation of state (SAFT-VR) to predict vapor-liquid equilibria and thermophysical properties of polymer mixtures as implemented in a MATLAB code.
