equation

UNIQUAC

UNIQUAC can represent

Universal QuasiChemical

balances L-V, L-L and L-L-V

as well as NRTL but without
the nonrandom parameter.

The model uses Wilson but

using concept area fraction
instead of mole fraction. It is
applicable to cases with
differences in the size and
shape of molecules, such as
polymers.

It can be applied to a wide

range including: water,
alcohol, nitriles, amines,
esters, ketones,

When:
The equation UNIQUAC is an
attempt to find a model that
combines the advantages of the
NRTL equation with of the
simplicity of Wilson, while
providing a more solid theoretical
basis for the calculations of
multicoponent systems. Also,
UNIQUAC equation can be
