Abstract

The measurements discussed in this paper are part of a comprehensive experimental program to obtain orthobaric liquid densities for the major components of LNG and their mixtures using a magnetic suspension densimeter. The present measurements on methane plus ethane were made to evaluate vapor recirculation as a method of liquid mixing and the consistency of liquid-phase compositions determined by analysis of liquid samples. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using a magnetic suspension densimeter to obtain accurate isothermal phase equilibria and liquid density data simultaneously, with compositions determined by chromatographic analysis.
