Infinite dilution mutual diffusion coefficients of 1-octene and 1-tetradecane in near-critical ethane and propane
- Texas A and M Univ., College Station, TX (United States). Chemical Engineering Dept.
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is a method for converting synthesis gas into petroleum products such as gasoline and diesel fuel. The FTS can be carried out in the gas phase using fixed bed reactors or in the liquid phase in a slurry reactor. Effective pore diffusion is a rate-controlling phenomenon in both reactor types. The authors have utilized the Taylor dispersion technique to measure the infinite dilution mutual diffusion coefficients of 1-octene and 1-tetradecane in subcritical and supercritical ethane and in subcritical propane in the temperature range 293.15--338.15 K and the pressure range 5.52--11.03 MPa. For ethane, the measurements were done on either side of the critical temperature with the pressure above the critical pressure.
