Solubility Measurements and Saturated Liquid Properties of Ternary Systems (Methane Decane Octadecane) at 295 K
Experimental vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) data have been measured for the ternary system (methane decane octadecane) at 295 K over the pressure range (1 to 8) MPa using a PVT apparatus that was designed in house. Three different (decane octadecane) binary mixtures were prepared, and the solubility and phase equilibria of these prepared mixtures with methane were studied. The experimental information of saturated liquid phase composition, density, and viscosity was reported at each pressure. The VLE data were correlated with the Soave Redlich Kwong (SRK) and Peng Robinson (PR) equations of state (EOS's) The adjustment of binary interaction parameters and the volume translation technique has been employed to correlate the experimental compositions and densities. The adjusted binary parameters from the VLE data of binary pairs (methane decane) and (methane octadecane) were used to correlate the generated ternary VLE data. The calculated ternary VLE compositions were found to be in good agreement.
