The isothermal gas-liquid phase boundary lines and critical curve were determined for the water+methane system.Experiments were performed in a high-pressure volume-variable autoclave with a sapphire window and magnetic stirring.The temperature range was from 433.0 to 633.0 K and pressure from 30.00 to 300.00 MPa.Henry coefficients of dilute methane solutions were determined;the results show that these coefficients decrease with increasing temperature in the range from 433.0 to 603.0 K.The equilibrium gas-liquid ratios,partial molar solution enthalpy,and partial molar solution entropy were also calculated.The results show that the difference in the cohesive energy density between methane and water is very large.
