연료용 혼합가스 조성에 따른 탄화수소 이슬점 예측

Abstract

중회귀분석을 사용하여 혼합연료가스의 탄화수소 이슬점(DT)을 구하였다. QSDR(Quantitative Structure Dew-point Relationship)에서 주요한 설명인자는 혼합연료가스 중의 평균탄소수(CN : carbon number)와 혼합연료가스 중의 가지달린 이성질체 비율(BI : the ratio of the branched isomer)이었다. 혼합연료가스의 압력을 100 kPa ~ 500 kPa로 변화시키며 QSDR을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-683.1+1224.98CN-898.01CN^2+308.58CN^3-49.56CN^4+3.02CN^5-12.42BI$$</TEX> (at 100 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (1) <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-745.2+1351.66CN-978.1CN^2+332.7CN^3-52.96CN^4+3.20CN^5-12.84BI$$</TEX> (at 200 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (2) <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-795.4+1457.1CN-1051.1CN^2+357.53CN^3-57.07CN^4+3.46CN^5-13.10BI$$</TEX> (at 300 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (3) <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-868.1+1608.4CN-1156.0CN^2+393.38CN^3-63.06CN^4+3.85CN^5-13.39BI$$</TEX> (at 500 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (4) 혼합연료 중의 평균탄소수의 값이 감소하거나 비점이 낮은 가지달린 이성질체의 비율이 증가할 때 탄화수소 이슬점이 낮아진다. 이 결과는 중회귀분석에 의하여 얻어진 탄화수소이슬점과 상용프로그램 VMGSim을 통하여 계산된 값과 유사하였다. The equations of hydrocarbon dew points(DT) of the fuel gas mixtures have been derived using the multiple regression analysis. In QSDR(Quantitative Structure Dew-point Relationship), the principal descriptors are CN(average carbon number) and BI(the ratio of the branched isomers). QSDRs studied by changing the pressures of the fuel gas mixtures in the range of 100 kPa ~ 500 kPa are as follows; <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-683.1+1224.98CN-898.01CN^2+308.58CN^3-49.56CN^4+3.02CN^5-12.42BI$$</TEX> (at 100 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (1) <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-745.2+1351.66CN-978.1CN^2+332.7CN^3-52.96CN^4+3.20CN^5-12.84BI$$</TEX> (at 200 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (2) <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-795.4+1457.1CN-1051.1CN^2+357.53CN^3-57.07CN^4+3.46CN^5-13.10BI$$</TEX> (at 300 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (3) <TEX>$$DT(^{\circ}C)=-868.1+1608.4CN-1156.0CN^2+393.38CN^3-63.06CN^4+3.85CN^5-13.39BI$$</TEX> (at 500 kPa, <TEX>$$R_{adj}{^2}=0.99$$</TEX>) (4) As the average carbon numbers in the mixed fuel being reduced or the ratio of the branched isomers having a boiling point lower increase, The hydrocarbon dew point becomes lower, The differences between the hydrocarbon-dew points determined by the multiple regression and those calculated by the commercial program, VMGSim are negligible.
