LNG Properties

[stanier]

Where can I find the properties of LNG such as viscosity, density and vapour pressure?

LNG-
Wewll, as you know it's about 90-100% Methane, so it's density is 26.5 LBs/Ft3... and weight about 3.5 lbs/gallon. the Boiling temp is -259F and molecular weight is 16.04 Energy content is about 83,000BTU/gal and LFL=5% and HFL=15%. The Viscosity can vary, but burning(flame) velocity is about .98 ft/sec.

Hope this helps... I imagine there are alot of sites out there you could try SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) though.

Stanier,

Fire up that Stanford University "Gift from God" GOOGLE (

http://www.google.com)

and search on LNG, properties, density and you will get...

http://www.nist.gov/srd/nist4.htm

http://www.altlngusa.com/info/new_page_9.htm

and 1250 other hits....

"A search engine is a terrible thing to waste.."


Cheers !!!!

I found that the Chempak database from AFT does the calculation for LNG and 700 other chemicals. It provides fifteen parameters.

Thanks for the responses.
