Abstract/Contents

Abstract: During the use of a new correlation for the compressibility of sweet and sour natural gases, it was noticed that an alternate form was possible. This new form suggested a more compact and direct correlation than the one available from the earlier work of Trube, or the recent study by Mattar, et. al. For manual calculations of the coefficient of isothermal compressibility, a curve which represents the dimensionless number C P as a function of pseudo-reduced temperature and pressure was prepared. The results have been extended to reduced pressures of 30, and reduced temperatures as high as 3. Finally, the adjustment method of Wichert and Aziz, is included to adjust the pseudo-critical pressure and temperature to permit use of this correlation for sour natural gases.
