Subcritical Heterogeneous Phase and Volumetric Equilibria of the Binary System of Ethane and 2-Methyl-Napthalene

Abstract

This project investigated the subcritical heterogeneous phase and volumetric equilibria of the binary system of ethane (hereafter known as C2) and 2-methyl-napthalene (hereafter known as 2mn). The compositions and the molar volumes of the coexisting liquid phases in the three phase equilibria of the given system were evaluated using stoichiometric procedures. The experimental temperature range is from 3° to 40° Celsius and the pressure range is from 18 to 55 Bars. Emphasis was placed on the three phase (liquid-liquid-vapor) behavior of the system.
