Revisiting the Liu−Silva−Macedo Model for Tracer Diffusion Coefficients of Supercritical, Liquid, and Gaseous Systems

Abstract

This work comprises two main purposes: to present the largest database of tracer diffusion coefficients ever published, comprehending 5279 experimental points and 296 binary systems, and provide the necessary Lennard-Jones diameter and energy, and the interaction parameter of the Liu−Silva−Macedo correlation (TLSMd), since it affords reliable and very good results for all systems studied (the global deviation found was 3.89%). For comparison, the well-known equations of Dymond−Hildebrand−Batschinsky, Zhu and co-workers, and Tyn−Calus have been adopted.
