PREDICTION OF SATURATED LIQUID DENSITIES OF HYDROCARBONS

Abstract

A general method is developed for the prediction of the saturated liquid densities for hydrocarbons with the help of a reference substance. Using molecular weight or the normal boiling point of the substance and the saturated liquid densities at different reduced temperatures of the reference substance (Argon), saturated liquid densities of different hydrocarbons can be predicted within an average error of 2.0*.
