Volumetric Properties and Phase Relations of Binary H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2}-CH{sub 4}-N{sub 2} Mixtures at 300 C and Pressures to 1000 Bars
The volumetric properties and phase relations of binary mixtures of H{sub 2}0, CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4} and N{sub 2} were determined experimentally at 3OO C, 74.4--999.3 bars, using a custom-built vibrating-tube densimeter. Densities of all single-phase fluids increase steadily with increasing pressure. At a given pressure, CO{sub 2}-rich H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2} mixtures show a pronounced nonlinear decrease in density with increasing mole fraction CO, in marked contrast to the densities of N{sub 2}-rich H{sub 2}O-N{sub 2} mixtures which are nearly independent of composition. At pressure up to 500 bars, non-aqueous mixtures have much smaller excess molar volumes than gas-rich aqueous mixtures. H{sub 2}O-rich mixtures at pressures ca.86 bars, and CO{sub 2}-poor non-aqueous mixtures at 99.4 bars, exhibit negative excess molar volumes. Excess molar volumes for aqueous mixtures peak at 86 bars, then decrease monotonically with increasing pressure above 86 bars. The H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2} liquid-vapor field widens continuously from 86 to ca.400 bars, then narrows with increasing pressure, closing at ca.565 bars, in sharp contrast to the H{sub 2}O-N{sub 2} liquid-vapor field, which widens continuously with increasing pressure to at least 1000 bars.
