Pressure-temperature phase

So far we have considered only a single component. However, reservoir fluids contain a mixture of hundreds of components, which adds to the complexity of the phase behaviour. Now consider the impact of adding one component to the ethane, say n-heptane (C7H.,g). We are now discussing a binary (two component) mixture, and will concentrate on the pressure-temperature phase diagram.

Figure A2.5.11. Typical pressure-temperature phase diagrams for a two-component fluid system. The fiill curves are vapour pressure lines for the pure fluids, ending at critical points. The dotted curves are critical lines, while the dashed curves are tliree-phase lines. The dashed horizontal lines are not part of the phase diagram, but indicate constant-pressure paths for the T, x) diagrams in figure A2.5.12. All but the type VI diagrams are predicted by the van der Waals equation for binary mixtures. Adapted from figures in [3].

Brady et al. [52] have discussed pressure-temperature phase diagrams for carbon dioxide polychlorobiphenyls and examined the rate process of desorption from soils. Supercritical carbon dioxide was used to extract polychlorobiphenyls and DDT and Toxaphene from contaminated soils.

Pressure was applied in this study to fine tune the lipid chain-lengths and conformation and to select specific lamellar phases. For example, the phospholipid bilayer thickness increases by 1 A/kbar in the liquid-crystalline phase, and up to six gel phases have been found in fully hydrated DPPC dispersions in the pressure-temperature phase space up to 15 kbar and 80 °C, respectively. NMR spectral parameters were used to detect structural and dynamic changes upon incorporation of the polypeptide into the lipid bilayers.

Only for U, Np and Pu sufficient experimental work was carried out so that a pressure-temperature phase diagram can be constructed. 

In fact, iron exhibits all three common metallic crystal structures bcc, fee, and hep within its pressure-temperature phase diagram, as is shown by the inset of Fig. 8.14. The transition from the bcc a phase to the hep e phase...

In Figure 4.2c for natural gases without a liquid hydrocarbon (or when liquid hydrocarbons exist below 273 K), the lower portion of the pressure-temperature phase diagram is very similar to that shown in Figure 4.2a. Two changes are (1) the Lw-H-V line would be for a fixed composition mixture of hydrocarbons rather than for pure methane (predictions methods for mixtures are given in Section 4.2 and in Chapter 5) and (2) quadruple point Qi would be at the intersection of the Lw-H-V line and 273 K, at a pressure lower than that for methane. The other three-phase lines of Figure 4.2a (for I-Lw-H and I-H-V) have almost the same slope at Qj. Otherwise, the same points in Section 4.1.1 apply.

Fullerenes with more than 70 atoms have been very little studied under pressure. The pressure-temperature phase diagram of molecular C76 was investigated up to 5 GPa near room temperature by Nakao et al. [166] but polymerization was... 

Mn3+, estimated to be about 198 kJ/g.ion in the andalusite Ml site, is that it increases the stability field of viridines in the pressure-temperature phase diagram for the system Al2Si05-(Al1 Mnx)2Si05 where x < 0.2 (Abs-Wurmbach et al., 1981 Langer, 1988). The influence of CFSE on the stability field of Mn3+ andalusite is discussed in chapter 7 ( 7.7.4.1).
