M. Zuliani et al., MEASUREMENTS, CORRELATION AND PREDICTION OF HENRY CONSTANTS OF LIGHT ALKANES IN MODEL HEAVY HYDROCARBONS AND PETROLEUM FRACTIONS, Fluid phase equilibria, 82, 1993, pp. 141-148
A method for predicting the phase behavior of petroleum fractions usin
g equations of state is proposed. The procedure is tested on binary mi
xtures and on real petroleum fractions. The experimental data used for
the comparison are Henrys constants as determined by GLC measurements
. The performances of cubic and non cubic equations of state in predic
ting multicomponent data are compared. The equation of state based on
the Perturbed Hard Chain Theory gives excellent results in the predict
ions of Henry's constants of light gases in petroleum fractions.
