Prausnitz, J. M.

The long-range purpose of this research is to obtain fundamental physicochemical data which, when coupled with theoretical results from molecular thermodynamics, will enable calculation of dew points in tar-containing gas mixtures at advanced temperatures and pressures. Apparatus for measuring dew points has now been constructed. Preliminary efforts toward making the apparatus operational are now nearing completion. Theoretical efforts for interpreting and correlating dew-point data are concentrated on statistical-mechanical and on kinetic theories. Relative advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are under consideration.
