Properties of the vapor-liquid interface of the binary mixture cyclohexane + CO2 as well as for the two pure substances are reported. The data were obtained from pendant drop experiments (Exp), molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and density gradient theory (DGT) in combination with the PCP-SAFT equation of state. The following interfacial properties were studied: surface tension (Exp, MD, DGT), relative adsorption (Exp, MD, DGT), enrichment (MD, DGT), and interfacial thickness (MD, DGT). The measurements were carried out at temperatures between 303.15 K and 373.15 K and pressures up to 6 MPa. Furthermore, bulk VLE properties were computed by MD and PCP-SAFT and compared to experimental data from the literature. Data from experiment, MD, and DGT were found to be in good agreement throughout.

The vapor-liquid interface of the Lennard-Jones truncated and shifted (LTJS) fluid with a cut-off radius of 2.5 σ is investigated for temperatures covering the range between the triple point and the critical point. Three different approaches to model the vapor-liquid interface are used: molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, density gradient theory (DGT) and density functional theory (DFT). The surface tension, pressure and density profiles, including the oscillatory layering structure of the fluid at the interface, are investigated. The PeTS (Perturbed truncated and shifted) equation of state and PeTS-i functional, based on perturbation theory, are used to calculate the Helmholtz free energy in the DGT and DFT approach. They are consistent with the LJTS force field model. Overall, both DGT and DFT describe the results from computer experiments well. An oscillatory layering structure is found in MD and DFT.
