An accurate thermodiffusion model is of paramount importance to the petroleum industry for the prediction of the compositional variation in hydrocarbon reservoirs. As the most recent theoretical development, Kempers and Firoozabadi models can be used for both binary and multicomponent mixtures. In this paper, we verified these models with three ternary hydrocarbon mixtures. The results reveal that the accuracy of the thermal diffusion coefficients relies on the accuracy of the thermodynamic properties from equations of state, corresponding Fick's diffusion coefficients, and the thermal diffusion modeling.
