On cases of complex mixtures where the true composition is unknown, like reservoir fluids, pseudocomponents are generated. These pseudo-components mimic the behaviour of a set of components as a single one, for example the pseudo-component $C_6$ encompass the set of components in a mixture that have a similar boiling point as n-hexane.
A method to generate a pseudo-component from a given property (or set of properties) could be useful to try contribution-based methods on those kinds of mixtures. Also, some generated components could be restricted, like being purely aliphatic or requiring $-OH$ groups.
Some usual properties that can be replicated are:
- Boiling point
- Critical constants
I'll gladly contribute to add these kind of generating methods.
