Abstract

AbstractA new experimental technique that simultaneously measures compositions and densities of two phases in equilibrium is described. Because it operates continuously, the experiment can be performed more rapidly than conventional static-equilibrium measurements. Details of the experimental apparatus are reported, and results of test displacements for two simple CO2/hydrocarbon systems are compared with static-equilibrium phase composition measurements for the same systems. A simple analysis of the operation of the experiment is used to assess the experimental error that results from the continuous nature of the experiment and to suggest ways to reduce that error. Application of the experimental technique to a CO2/crude oil system is reported in a companion paper.1
