where:
Peng and Robinson conserved the temperature dependency of the attractive term and the acentric factor
introduced by Soave. However, they presented different fitting parameters to describe this dependency
(equation 4.11c), and further manipulated the denominator of the pressure correction (attractive) term.
As we have seen before, coefficients “a” and “b” are made functions of the critical properties by imposing
the criticality conditions. This yields:

where binary interaction parameters (kij) again play the important empirical role of helping to better fit
experimental data. Due to the empirical character of these interaction parameters, kij’s calculated for PR
EOS are unlikely to be the same as the kij’s calculated for SRK EOS for the same pair of molecules.
