Abstract

A static-analytical apparatus with visual sapphire windows and pneumatic capillary samplers has been used to obtain new vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the N2 + n-octane system over the temperature range from (344.5 to 543.5) K and at pressures up to 50 MPa. Equilibrium phase compositions and vapor-liquid equilibrium ratios are reported. The new results were compared with solubility data reported by other authors. The comparison showed that the solubility data reported in this work at 344.5 K are in good agreement with those determined by others at 344.3 K. The experimental data were modeled with the PR and PC-SAFT equations of state by using one-fluid mixing rules and a single temperature-independent interaction parameter. Results from the modeling effort showed that the PC-SAFT equation was superior to the PR equation in correlating the experimental data of the N2 + n-octane system.
