Notes:
A correlational procedure was developed to predict the vapor liquid equilibrium behavior of light hydrocarbons in heavier hydrocarbon solvents at low temperatures and elevated pressures. The method is applicable to paraffinic as well as aromatic solvents.The method employed the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state to predict the vapor phase fugacities. Methane liquid fugacities in the various hydrocarbon solvents were based upon Henry's law which included terms to account for compositional and pressure effects. The liquid fugacities for ethane and propane were calculated using infinite dilution data to modify empirically the Scatchard-Hildebrand equation. Excellent agreement between the correlated and low-temperature data available on this class of systems was obtained.
