The pseudo-density of the methane at 15ºC and 101.325 kPa(abs) can be find from Fig. 23-14

Density of Methane=610 kg/m3

Standard density of mixture = 610kg/m3

b) The density at 60°C and 50,000 kPa?

The pseudo-density is corrected to the actual pressure by using Fig. 23-15and add to the correction
to pseudo-density from a.

Therefore, pressure correction to 50,000kPa from Fig. 23-15 is equal to 57

Density at 15ºC and 50,000kPa = 610+57 = 667 kg/m3

The density at 15ºC and 50,000 kPa is corrected to the actual temperature(60ºC) by using Fig. 23-
17 and add the corrected density of 667 kg/m3

Temperature correction to 60ºC from Fig 23-17 = 45

Density at 60ºCand 50,000kPaa = 667 - 45= 622 kg/m3

From GPSA FIG 23-22 and with MW viscosity at 101.325 kPa and 140°C;
𝜇𝐴 = 0.0137 𝑚𝑃𝑎. 𝑠
Because Tr>1.0, GPSA FIG 23-24 is preferred over FIG 23-23 to obtain the
correction for elevated pressure to the viscosity at one atmosphere. Therefor from
𝜇
FIG 23-24 and Tr=2 and Pr=2 then; 𝜇 = 2.85

Hence the viscosity at 9150Kpa and 140°C is:

Step 1) A calculation table is set-up same as Fig 23-16 and also C8 properties calculated as
average see below table

MW Density Kg/m3
706.73
C8 114.229 697.83
696.05
Average - 700.20

Step 2) The density of propane and heavier (C3+) is calculated as below;

𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝐶3+𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 56.7651 𝐾𝑔

𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐶3+ = 𝑉𝑜𝑙 𝐶3+𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠
= 0.09544 = 594.7726 𝑚3

Step 3) The weight percent of (N2+C2) in the (N2+C2+) fraction is calculated as below;

𝑤𝑡(𝑁2 + 𝐶2) 2.1409

𝑤𝑡% (𝑁2 + 𝐶2) = ∗ 100 => 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 %𝐶2 𝑖𝑛 𝐶2+= ∗ 100 = 3.6344%
𝑤𝑡(𝑁2 + 𝐶2+) 2.1409 + 56.7651

Step 4) The pseudo-density of the (N2+C2+) is extracted from Fig. 23-14

Density of (N2+C2+)=592.7 kg/m3

Step 5) If CO2 is not present which in this case there is no N2 then go step 6
Step 6) The weight percent of the methane is calculated as below;

𝑤𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑒 0.5615
𝑤𝑡% 𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑒 = ∗ 100 => 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 %𝐶1 = ∗ 100 = 0.944%
𝑤𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 59.4674

Step 7) The pseudo-density of the methane at 15ºC and 101.325 kPa(abs) is defined from Fig. 23-
14
Density of Methane=589.5 kg/m3

Step 8) The pseudo-density is corrected to the actual pressure by using Fig. 23-15and add to the
correction to pseudo-density from step 7. Therefore, pressure correction to 1820kPa from Fig. 23-15
is equal to 3.
Density at 15ºC and 1820kPa(abs) = 589.5+3=592.5 kg/m3

Step 9) The density at 15ºC and 1820 kPa(abs) is corrected to the actual temperature(49ºC) by
using Fig. 23-17 and add the correction to the density from step 8. Temperature correction to 49ºC
from Fig 23-17 = 44.8
Density at 49ºC and 1820kPaa = 592.5-44.8 = 547.7 kg/m3

By utilizing simulation software like Aspen-HYSYS and by applying PR EOS, density of liquid
mixture defined as 551.4 kg/m3 which with 1% variation is verified by hand calculation.
