Abstract
To address the critical role of the Joule-Thomson (JT) effect in flow assurance for the oil and gas industry, this work presents experimental density data for methane + methanol mixtures at temperatures ranging from 313.15 K to 413.15 K and pressures up to 100 MPa. Using this data, derivative properties such as isothermal compressibility, isobaric expansivity, and Joule-Thomson coefficient were calculated via a correlative Tammann-Tait Eq. and compared against predictions using the PC-SAFT Eq. of state. The results showed that was negative under these conditions, indicating a warming effect upon expansion. The use of the PC-SAFT Eq. was satisfactory, given the system’s complexity, for density data and for properties that did not rely on the isobaric heat capacity. Additionally, a new binary interaction parameter for the methane/methanol pair was obtained and evaluated using the PC-SAFT Eq. of state.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
