Abstract

Recent measurements have provided corresponding sets of equilibrium gas-phase compositions for the binary systems of methane with hydrogen [1–4], helium [5–7], and neon [8] in the solid-vapor region and, with the exception of neon-methane, in the liquid-vapor region. These data are particularly valuable below the normal boiling-point temperature of methane where assumptions made to simplify models representing the gas-phase compositions are most nearly satisfied. Predictions made by means of an expression based on the virial equation and commonly used empirical mixing rales were found to be least satisfactory for the neon and helium systems. It was concluded, in discussing this difficulty for the neon-methane system [8], that the failure in the calculations is most probably due to the lack of a rigorous method of relating parameters for unlike-molecule interactions to those for like-molecule interactions.
