Symbolic Machine Learning for Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Prediction in Cx-N2 Binary Mixtures
摘要
arXiv:2608.11255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate prediction of vapor--liquid equilibrium (VLE) for hydrocarbon-nitrogen mixtures remains challenging for cubic equations of state, particularly across broad ranges of composition and hydrocarbon chain length. While deep learning models can provide accurate predictions, they often lack interpretability and explicit analytical expressions. In this work, we propose a symbolic machine learning approach to discover interpretable symbolic corrections to Peng-Robinson equation-of-state (PR-EOS) predictions from experimental data. The proposed approach adopts a two-level strategy: symbolic expressions are first identified for individual hydrocarbon systems, after which their coefficients are represented as functions of carbon number to enable accurate prediction across different hydrocarbon systems. The results demonstrate significantly improved prediction accuracy over the original PR-EOS across all hydrocarbon-nitrogen systems. Overall, the proposed approach provides an interpretable symbolic correction framework for improving PR-EOS predictions of hydrocarbon-nitrogen VLE.
