Abstract


In this study we present the results of the simulation of ternary liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) using Genetic Algorithm and Threshold Acceptance Algorithm with two hybrid functions (Nelder-Mead Simplex method: NMS and Quasi-Newton method: QN). These methods show that the hybridization of both GA and TA algorithms give good values of tie-lines. The RMSD values obtained were compared to UNIQUAC and NRTL models using GA and TA algorithms with NMS and QN hybrid functions. The Levy function was used in the test performances of GA and TA algorithms. The experimental protocol considered in this work was a ternary system (Trichloromethane-Acetic acid-Water) at two different temperatures. The thermodynamic models considered for the calculation of the interaction parameter are UNIQUAC and NRTL models. The interaction parameters were presented; the experimental and theoretical tie-lines were plotted on triangular coordinates.
