Calculation of the Saturation Properties of a Model Octane-Water System Using Monte Carlo Simulation.

We use Monte Carlo simulation to compute the saturation properties of a model octane-water system. The system phase separates into water-rich liquid and vapor phases, octane-rich liquid and vapor phases, and water-rich liquid and octane-rich liquid phases at various conditions. We outline a strategy for determining the saturation properties of the mixture over a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and compositions.
