Do regression to determine the parameter values of the functional forms of equation (1) and (2) that
represent the data in Table 1. Which of the two correlations would you recommend?
2. Correlation of Binary Activity Coefficients Using Margules Equations
The Margules equations for correlation of binary activity coefficients are

pipe is known, the flow rate Q (that is, the volume of
water passing through the pipe per unit time) can be
