HW #2 Solution

Problem 1:

Step 1: use a table to calculate the mass and volume of each component and mixture.
Component MF MW i x i MW i sc Liq volume =
(x i ) (lb/ lb-mole) (lb/cu ft) x i MW i / sc (cu ft)
n-C 4 0.2500 58.12 14.53 36.43 0.3988
n-C 5 0.2000 72.15 14.43 39.36 0.3666
n-C 6 0.5500 86.17 47.39 41.43 1.1438
1.0000 76.35 1.909

Step 2:
for 1 lb-mole of oil mixture,
mass 76.35 lb
o 39.99 lb/cu ft
volume 1.909 cu ft
141.5
API = 131.5, we need o .
o
o 39.99 lb/cu ft
Because o 0.641
water 62.4 lb/cu ft
141.5 141.5
API = 131.5 131.5 89.25
o 0.641

Problem 2:

mo mg
sc . We need to calculate mass of each phase and volume of each phase.
Vo Vg
Assume 1 bbl of oil, Vo 5.615 cu ft
step 1:
m o Vo o Vo w o
141.5
o 0.788
API 131.5
m o Vo w o (5.615 scf) (62.4 lb/ cu ft) 0.788 276.2 lb
step 2:
scf lb-mole
m g Rso MWair g 850 ( )(28.97 lb/lb-mole)(0.75) 48.73 lb
STB 379.4 scf
step 3:
To calculate liquid volume of gas Vg
first from chart # 17, we found liquid density of gas is 22 lb/cu ft,
mg 48.73 lb
so Vg 2.22 cu ft
g 22 lb/cu ft
step 4:
m mg 276.2 48.73
sc o 41.47 lb/cu ft
Vo Vg 5.615 2.22
step 5:
chart #15, look for correction for pressure
0.95
sc , p 41.47 0.95 42.42 lb/cu ft
step 6:
correction for temperature (chart#17)
3.9
sc , pT 42.42 3.9 38.52 lb/cu ft
step 7:
From chart #19a, oD 0.7cp
from chart #19b, o 0.27cp
