Short description
Covers topics related to the Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) behaviour of complex hydrocarbon systems and documents the ability of Equations of State (EOS) in modelling their behaviour. This book aims to provide the engineer and the student with tools to solve problems that require a description of the PVT of hydrocarbon systems.
Long description
This title covers a wide range of topics related to the Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) behaviour of complex hydrocarbon systems and documents the ability of Equations of State (EOS) in modelling their behaviour. The main objective of this book is to provide the practising engineer and engineering student with tools needed to solve problems that require a description of the PVT of hydrocarbon systems from their compositions. Because of the dramatic evolution in computational capabilities, petroleum engineers can now study such phenomena as the development of miscibility during gas injection, compositional gradient as a function of depth and the behaviour near critical hydrocarbon systems with more sophisticated EOS models.
