Abstract

An equation of state based on the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) for estimates of sound speed in natural-gas mixtures is successfully applied in this work. Prediction results of the speed of sound for five binary and six multicomponent systems (dataset includes 1000 data points taken from literature) containing hydrocarbons, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide in a wide range of temperatures (250–415 K) and pressures (0.1–60 MPa) are presented. The fitting parameters of the binary interaction were not used in the calculations. The results of modeling for the speed of sound are shown to be in good agreement with the literature data.
