New Correlation For Calculating Acentric Factor Of Petroleum 2 Fractions, Samir Khaled
New Correlation For Calculating Acentric Factor Of Petroleum 2 Fractions, Samir Khaled
Petroleum Engineering and Gas
A proper description of the physical properties of the petroleum fractions in hydrocarbon mixtures is 12 essential in performing reliable phase behavior calculations and compositional modeling studies. This 13 paper presents a comparison study among five different correlations used to calculate the acentric 14 factor of undefined petroleum fractions. A new correlation was developed for calculating the acentric 15 factor of undefined petroleum fractions, a function of no carbon atoms with an average error of 0.099 16 and a correlation coefficient of 0.998.
