150°, -200°, and -230°F., using a specially designed apparatus suitable for low-temperature phase-equilibrium studies. At -230°F ., the system exhibits behavior undistinguishable from the ideal solution, and for all practical purposes it may be considered as ideal, even at -200°F.An EXPERIMENTAL study of vapor-liquid equilibrium of the ethane-propane system at low temperatures was conducted as part of an over-all effort to study thermophysical properties of natural gas and its components, needed for design of liquefaction systems and storage facilities for liquefied natural gas. The vaporliquid equilibrium data for the ethane-propane system at temperatures above 0°F. have been reported by Matschke (2) and Price (3).
EXPERIMENTALResearch grade ethane and propane purchased from the Matheson Co., Inc., were used, with the guaranteed
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.
