Adopting temperature-dependent interaction parameters in the Lennard-Jones potential, the vapor-liquid phase diagram ofmethane was produced using NVT Gibbs Ensemble Monte Carlo technique. Published second virial coefficient data were usedto fit a simple two-parameter temperature-dependent model for the interaction parameters. The simulations were carried out inthe temperature range 120-190 K. The critical density and temperature were evaluated using Ising-scaling model. Using thetemperature-dependent interaction parameters in the simulation has reduced the root mean square deviation by 94.7%compared to the temperature-independent interaction parameters. The evaluated critical temperature was enhanced usingtemperature-dependent interaction parameters, whereas the simulations using temperature-independent interaction parameterspredict a better critical density value
