Multivariate models based on infrared spectra as a substitute for oil property correlations to predict thermodynamic properties: evaluated on the basis of the narrow-boiling fractions of Kukersite retort oil
This article investigates a potential for using models based on infrared spectra to predict basic thermodynamic properties of narrow boiling range oil fractions or pseudocomponents.The work took advantage of the simultaneous availability of a property database of narrow boiling range fractions of Kukersite oil shale retort oil (from the industrial
