Solution AL11-315 Date Student Signature____________ © PETE 315 Learning Activities by Dr. Maria Barrufet 1/6 PETE 315 Petroleum Thermodynamics Chapter 12-13 These chapters supplement the material presented in class. The problems assigned are not from the book, particularly the problems related to ternary diagrams which were discussed extensively in class. 1. The following ternary diagram shows the phase behavior of C 1 /C 2- C 6 /C 7 + mixtures at 300 o F and 1,800 psia . You are in charge of analyzing the behavior of a reservoir oil with a composition of 10% C 1 , 60% C 2 -C 6 and 30 % C 7 + . 5,000 moles of the reservoir oil indicated above were mixed with CH 4 at constant pressure and temperature and two phases formed. The resulting overall mixture (z i ) has a methane composition of 40% . Determine a. The molar fraction of gas formed (f v ) b. The number of moles of methane added to the 5,000 moles of oil c. The equilibrium gas and oil compositions. To evaluate f v use methane as the guide, the reason is that because of round off errors in reading you would not get exactly the same value when using the other components. You can also use a ruler and measure the distance (between bubble and dew point compositions along the equilibrium line and overall and liquid compositions). This is equivalent to using the length of the vectors.
