Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The authors describe three methods:
1.A. [Saturat. n°1]. A measure of the static pressure of saturation in an apparatus which gave a precision of 10 - 15 %.
1.B. [Saturat. n°2]. A measure of the static pressure of saturation in an apparatus which gave a precision of 2 - 5 %.
2. [Chromato]. A gas liquid chromatographic method estimated to have a precision of 2 - 5 %.
3. [Anal. directe]. Direct analysis of the gaseous and liquid phases.

Method 2 was used for these systems.

  1. Ethene. Air Liquide. For narcosis, 99.9%.

(1) $\log (K \pi\nu/\pu{at}m) = A - (\delta H/\pu{cal mol-1})/(2.3\rm{R}(T/\pu{K}))$

(2) The function, $K\pi\nu$/$\pu{atm}$, is equivalent to a Henry's constant in the form $H_{1,2}/\pu{atm} = (f_{1}/\pu{atm})/x_{1}$ where $f_{1}$ is the fugacity.

(3) The authors definitions are: $K = y_{1}/x_{1} = \frac{\text{mole fraction gas in gas phase}}{\text{mole fraction gas in liquid phase}}$; $\pi/\pu{atm}$ = total pressure; $\nu$ = coefficient of fugacity.
