Abstract

Equilibrium constants of pure hydrocarbons in different temperatures and pressures are necessary in most engineering calculations. A general formula has been developed to calculate equilibrium value for a group of hydrocarbons which have the general formula Cn H2n+2 and Cn H2n based on three parameters. This formula is a function of reduced temperature, reduced pressure, and an acentric factor. It is applied within a wide range of temperatures and pressures. As a result this technique is considered to be useful for the predication of K values of pure hydrocarbons depending on its reduced temperature, reduced pressure, and acentric factor.
