Modification of Rk Equation of State for Liquid and Vapor of Ammonia by Genetic Algorithm

Cubic equations of state like Redlich–Kwong (RK) 
EOS have been proved to be very reliable tools in the prediction of 
phase behavior. Despite their good performance in compositional 
calculations, they usually suffer from weaknesses in the predictions 
of saturated liquid density. In this research, RK equation was 
modified. The result of this study show that modified equation has 
good agreement with experimental data.
