Abstract

At the last Cryogenic Engineering Conference, Zudkevitch and Gray [1] presented a paper on the importance of fluid property predictions to the design of liquefied natural gas (LNG) processes. This paper was disturbing in that it illustrated the serious consequences of discrepancies in calculated properties small enough to bring some degree of satisfaction to those who work at these predictions. In some cases an uncertainty as small as 4 K in a bubble point temperature or a 1% error in liquid density can have exceptionally adverse economic effects. Although there has been notable progress in predicting properties of liquefied natural gas mixtures [2,3], there still remains a challenge to achieve this degree of accuracy consistently. Furthermore, the challenge is even more severe in that we must soon deal with a whole new range of fluids arising from coal and shale processing.
