Abstract

The phase equilibria behavior of simplified surfactant models and population of aggregates as a function of pressure were discussed. The Monte Carlo simulation results of the systems were compared with predictions from a modified version of the statistical associating fluid theory (soft-SAFT). The influence of the number and location of the association sites on the thermodynamic properties was analyzed. Analysis shows that the soft-SAFT was able to quantitatively predict the MC PVT results indepedently of the location of the association sites.
