β¦ Synopsis
The isothermal effects of pressure and composition on the mixture and partial enthalpy differences of the methane-propane binary were derived from PVTy data. A graphical and numerical technique was used to derive the enthalpy differences from 100Β° to 46OOF. and 200 to 2,000 Ib./sq. in. abs. for the complete composition range of the binary.
The isothermal effects of pressure and composition on the mixture enthalpy data of the methane-propane binary were also calculated with the Benedict-Webb-Rubin and the Redlich-Kwong equations of state. The results of the three methods of calculation are compared. The comparison showed that the two-constant Redlich-Kwong equation of state is as good as the eight-constant Benedict equation of state in the superheated vapor region.
The data derived i n this work were combined with other methane binary enthalpy data from the literature t o construct a general correlation of the effect of pressure and composition on the enthalpy of methane-light hydrocarbon binaries. The correlating porameters are the pseudo reduced temperature and pressure and a mole-average acentric factor. . --. Pseudo Acentric Foclor.Wpm

A new, probabilistic approach is applied to the case of dense random packings of binary mixtures of spheres, assuming gapless packing. The model describes correctly the dependence of the porosity of the packing on mixture composition and size ratio for the disordered dense "phase" of the binary mixt
