Summary

VAPOUR-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM DISTRIBUTION COEFFICIENTS AT WIDELY RANGING PRESSURES, TEMPERATURES, AND COMPOSITIONS ARE ESSENTIAL DATA FOR PROCESS ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS IN THE NATURAL GAS SEPARATION. COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR THE ACCURATE PREDICTION OF THESE DATA USING ONLY PURE COMPONENT PROPERTIES ARE PRESENTED IN THIS PAPER. THE VALIDITY OF THE METHOD HAS BEEN TESTED FOR THE SYSTEM METHANE-ETHANE-PROPANE AT LOW TEMPERATURES AND HIGH PRESSURES. THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PREDICTED VALUES AND THE CORRESPONDING EXPERIMENTAL DATA TAKEN FROM THE LITERATURE ILLUSTRATES THE ACCURACY OF THE PREDICTION METHOD AND JUSTIFIES ITS APPLICABILITY TO WORKING SEPARATION SYSTEMS.
