PVT AND VAPOR PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS ON ETHANE.

Abstract

New measurements of the vapor pressures and PVT properties of ethane are reported. PVT determinations have been made from near the triple point to 320 K at pressures to 33 MPa. The density range investigated extends to more than three times the critical density. The new measurements of the vapor pressures of ethane extend from 160 K to near the critical point. The measurements have been made as part of a comprehensive program to provide the required experimental data and to develop suitable calculation techniques for determining properties of liquefied fuel gases.
