In view of the successful application of the rough hard-sphere theory for the correlation of diffusion and viscosity for dense fluid methane, a similar form of data representation has been considered for dense nonspherical molecular fluids. Instead of the translational-rotational coupling factors, a roughness factor Rx(X= D,rj,X) has been introduced for each property to account for effects of nonspherical shape. It is assumed that these are independent of temperature and density. Thus, reduced quantities D and T] similar to those defined by equations (10.11) and (10.12) can be redefined as...

The enhanced concentration at the surface accounts, in part, for the catalytic activity shown by many solid surfaces, and it is also the basis of the application of adsorbents for low pressure storage of permanent gases such as methane. However, most of the important applications of adsorption depend on the selectivity, ie, the difference in the affinity of the surface for different components. As a result of this selectivity, adsorption offers, at least in principle, a relatively straightforward means of purification (removal of an undesirable trace component from a fluid mixture) and a potentially useflil means of bulk separation. 

Simple Fluids. Spherical compounds having Httle molecular interaction, eg, argon, krypton, xenon, and methane, are known as simple fluids and obey the theory of corresponding states.

PCBs and PCTs are particularly troublesome liquids because of their toxicity and persistence in the environment. They are defined as polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorinated terphenyls, monomethyl-dibromo-diphenyl metliane, monomethyl-dichloro-diphenyl metliane or monomethyl-tetrachlorodiphenyl methane. With low electrical conductivity and heat resistance they found wide use as dielectric fluids and were formerly used as hydraulic fluids. PCBs have not been made in the UK since 1977 and whilst most new uses for the substance are banned in most countries, around two-thirds of the 1.5 million tonnes manufactured in Europe and the US prior to 1985 still remain in equipment such as transformers. PCTs have been used in the past in a restricted range of specialist industrial applications. 

Absorption recovers valuable light components such as propane/propylene and butane/ butylene as vapors from fractionating columns. These vapors are bubbled through an absorption fluid, such as kerosene or heavy naphtha, in a fractionating-like column to dissolve in the oil while gases, such as hydrogen, methane, ethane, and ethylene, pass through. Absorption is effectively performed at 100 to 150 psi with absorber heated and distilled. The gas fraction is condensed as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The liquid fraction is reused in the absorption tower. 

For a single component fluid, such as methane, a Mollier diagram, such as Figure 4-7, can be used to calculate temperature drop directly. 

However, we also need to discuss how the attractive interactions between species can be included in the theory of partly quenched systems. These interactions comprise an intrinsic feature of realistic models for partially quenched fluid systems. In particular, the model for adsorption of methane in xerosilica gel of Kaminsky and Monson [41] is characterized by very strong attraction between matrix obstacles and fluid species. Besides, the fluid particles attract each other via the Lennard-Lones potential. Both types of attraction (the fluid-matrix and fluid-fluid) must be included to gain profound insight into the phase transitions in partly quenched media. The approach of Ford and Glandt to obtain the chemical potential utilizing... 

Adsorption of hard sphere fluid mixtures in disordered hard sphere matrices has not been studied profoundly and the accuracy of the ROZ-type theory in the description of the structure and thermodynamics of simple mixtures is difficult to discuss. Adsorption of mixtures consisting of argon with ethane and methane in a matrix mimicking silica xerogel has been simulated by Kaminsky and Monson [42,43] in the framework of the Lennard-Jones model. A comparison with experimentally measured properties has also been performed. However, we are not aware of similar studies for simpler hard sphere mixtures, but the work from our laboratory has focused on a two-dimensional partly quenched model of hard discs [44]. That makes it impossible to judge the accuracy of theoretical approaches even for simple binary mixtures in disordered microporous media. 

The question of relative rates of seal leakage and permeation (cf. points 1 and 3) has been considered by MERE. For the sealing of HPHT (5000 psi, ca. 345 bar, or 34.5 MPa 100°C) fluids with chevron seal-stack systems used at the bottom of oil wells in intermittently dynamic conditions, high-pressure permeation and seal-leakage tests using the equipment outlined in Section 23.3.1.2 have been conducted it has been shown that methane gas permeation rate was only ca. 1 % of the rate...
