public class TBPfractionModel.RiaziDaubert extends TBPfractionModel.PedersenTBPModelSRK
Riazi-Daubert (1980) property estimation method.

The Riazi-Daubert correlations use a simple exponential-power law form that relates critical properties to molecular weight (M) and specific gravity (SG). This model is particularly effective for light to medium petroleum fractions with molecular weights below 300 g/mol.

Key Correlations:

Critical Temperature:

Tc = (5/9) × 554.4 × exp(-1.3478×10-4·M - 0.61641·SG) × M0.2998 × SG1.0555

Critical Pressure:

Pc = 0.068947 × 4.5203×104 × exp(-1.8078×10-3·M - 0.3084·SG) × M-0.8063 × SG1.6015

Boiling Point:

Tb = 97.58 × M0.3323 × SG0.04609

Applicability:

  • Molecular weight: 70-300 g/mol (light to medium fractions)
  • Specific gravity: 0.65-0.90
  • Falls back to Pedersen model for MW > 300 g/mol

Notes:

The acentric factor is calculated using the Kesler-Lee correlation with switchover at Tbr = 0.8. The model does not calculate the EOS m-parameter directly (calcm = false).
