Abstract
The helium-nitrogen system has been studied by several investigators [1–8]. The highest temperatures studied were 121.74°K by Streett [8], 122.8°K by Buzyna, Macriss, and Ellington [1], and 123.1°K by Porter [6]. Scientific interest in the critical behavior of this system—important in the production of high-purity helium from natural gas—has been stimulated recently by Streett’s work, which revealed minimum critical conditions at 119.89°K and 8500 psia, and by further investigation by Streett and Hill [9] to higher pressures, which showed that the critical conditions continued to increase from the minimum to at least 136.5°K and almost 4000 atm.
