Thermodynamic Models for Hydrogen-Containing Systems at Infinite Dilution

For a supercritical gas such as hydrogen, thermodynamic models for Henry's constant, partial molar volume, and partial molar enthalpy are sufficient in representing the thermodynamics of hydrogen-containing systems at infinite dilution. This work presents a generalized method and correlations for Henry's constant in binary systems containing hydrogen as a function of temperature. Experimental vapor–liquid equilibrium data were used to obtain this Henry's constant correlation with (i) three specific parameters, (ii) one specific parameter, and (iii) no specific parameter. These three Henry's constant correlations for hydrogen vary in the degrees of generalization and accuracy. A generalized corresponding states correlation for partial molar enthalpy of hydrogen in hydrocarbon systems at infinite dilution was derived from the newly developed Henry's constant correlation and from a correlation for infinite-dilution partial molar volumes of hydrogen available in the literature. Overall, this work provides the most extensive method for infinite-dilution thermodynamic properties of hydrogen-containing systems.
