Request a sales quoteThermophysical Properties of Individual Hydrocarbons of Petroleum and Natural Gases: Properties, Methods, and Low-Carbon Technologies is a go-to data source for engineers who need derive property data on everyday components. Providing more precise data improves existing oil and gas processing systems and creates opportunities for more sustainable operations and equipment, such as hydrogen and carbon capture. Covering modern equations of state, this source discusses detailed descriptions of experimental apparatus, methods of measurement, corrections and error estimates as well as results of previous experiments. Generalized predictive methods for calculating viscosity and thermal conductivity are also covered.
Rounding out with property databases and lower-carbon technology advances, the book gives today’s engineers a detailed study of methods for more sustainable experimental research of thermophysical properties.
- Teaches approaches for the measurement and modeling of thermophysical properties for future sustainability growth, including hydrogen and carbon capture
- Provides exact property data of natural gas and their main components, including saturated properties
- Gives readers new knowledge in experimental measurement procedures and guidelines for calculating thermophysical properties, along with updates on applications
