Abstract
The composition of the coexisting gas and liquid phases in the ternary system consisting of methane, propane, and normal pentane was determined at 100° F. and at pressures of 200, 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 pounds per square inch. From these data the values of equilibrium constants for methane, propane, and pentane were calculated.
The actual phase behavior of the ternary system is compared to the phase behavior predicted from Raoult's Law and to the predictions made from a correlation of previously available data.
