Popis: The liquid-vapor interfacial properties of hydrocarbons and their mixtures are important factors in a wide range of industrial processes and applications. Determining these properties experimentally, however, is not only practically demanding, but many important properties, such as phase densities and compositions are not directly experimentally accessible, thus requiring the development of theoretical models. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, by contrast, are relatively straightforward even for the most complex of mixtures and directly provide all of the microscopic quantities for the studied systems. We have previously applied MD simulations to study the liquid-vapor equilibria of mixtures of hydrocarbons and CO
