Excerpt
Introduction: Methane is the major component of natural gas. In this context knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of methane is required for the processes of liquefaction, separation, storage, pumping and transport of natural gas, etc. Moreover, methane serves as an important raw material for the production of hydrogen, alcohols and many other products of the chemical industry. Due to increasing efforts in the optimization of chemical plants, it is necessary to provide accurate thermodynamic properties of methane. Furthermore, since methane is the first compound of the group of the alkanes, it is often referred to as a reference fluid...
