Abstract
The solubility of methane in two heavy n-paraffins, n-C24 and n-C32, has been measured in a semiflow apparatus over the temperature range from 100 to 300°C and 100 to 350°C, respectively, at pressures up to 5.07 MPa. A correlation is developed to describe the experimental data and to calculate the solubility of methane in heavy n-paraffins. The correlation is tested with solubility data for methane in Mobil wax.
