This paper reports P-F-T data (P is pressure, F is mass density, T is temperature) for a ternary mixture that resembles a residual natural gas. The measurements utilized a high-pressure, single-sinker magnetic-suspension densimeter (MSD) from (200 to 450) K up to 170 MPa and an automated isochoric apparatus to determine densities and phase boundary data up to 20 MPa. The MSD technique yielded accurate data, with better than a 0.05 % estimated error at two standard deviations up to 200 MPa. The relative uncertainties for phase-boundary temperatures and pressures were 0.45 % and 0.04 %, respectively. The isochoric densities had essentially the same estimated error as the MSD data. The GERG-2004 and AGA8-DC92 equations of state compared well to the density data. A new method provided saturation densities from isochoric data with a relative uncertainty of 0.12 %, compensating the isochoric densities for cell and transfer-line volume changes and for mass interchange between the cell and the combination of the transfer line and pressure transducer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
