T1 - Thermodynamics of LNG N2 - Densities of eight gravimetrically prepared ternary and quaternary gas mixtures consisting of methane, ethane, propane, and partially nitrogen were investigated along the four isotherms of –250, –230, –210, and –190 °F at pressures of 350, 500, 650, and 1000 psig using a cryogenic single-sinker densimeter. The experimental densities were compared to densities calculated by various models, namely the EOS-LNG fundamental Helmholtz equation of state, the COSTALD correlation, the Lee-Kessler-Plöcker equation of state, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state. The best performance was shown by the EOS-LNG equation of state which is capable of predicting the liquid densities within the specified uncertainty of the model of 0.05 %. The other models, however, showed significant differences that disqualify for calculation within the p,T-region investigated of the gas mixtures.
