Abstract
It will improve the potential of energy utilization if the biogas like methane can dissolve in the liquefied petroleum petroleum gases at the normal temperature and proper pressure. Accordingly, the characteristics of liquefied propane and butane was investigated at the 278K and 294K. The liquification of propane occurs at the case of P≥5.56atm at 278K and P≥8.33atm at 294K, while the liquification process occurs for butane when P≥1.50atm at 278K and P≥3.11atm at 294K. In addition, the dissolution profiles of methane in propane and butane for the different pressure were studied using the Peng-Robinson equation.
