Pi and Pf are initial and final pressure of CO2 , Vi and Vf are initial and

of CO2 at initial and final stage of the absorption process. These
thermodynamic properties were calculated using PR-EOS.
In order to find the effect of gas absorption on the volume expan-
sion of the solvent, results of Rajasingam et al. [2] were used. They
measured the volumetric expansion for CO2 –NMP system using Eq.

Based on their data, the value of volume expansion is 10.3% at
298 K and 1 MPa for CO2 –NMP system. Also, their results showed

According to our data in this paper, regardless of the volume expan-
