How to Calculate and Solve for Glass Gas Solubility in a Fluid | The Calculator Encyclopedia

Last Updated on March 8, 2024

To calculate the glass gas solubility, four essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are API Gravity (°API), Temperature (°Rankine) (T), Mean Bubble Point (P_b^*), and Gas Gravity at Actual Separator P_sep and T_sep (γ_g).

The formula for calculating the glass gas solubility:

γ_gs = γ_g[(^(°API)0.989 / _{(T – 460)^0.172})P_b^*]^1.2255

Where:

γ_gs = Glass Gas Solubility
°API = API Gravity
T = Temperature (°Rankine)
P_b^* = Mean Bubble Point
γ_g = Gas Gravity at Actual Separator P_sep and T_sep

Let’s solve an example;
Find the glass gas solubility when the API Gravity is 15, the temperature is 30, the mean bubble point is 40 and the gas gravity at actual separator is 54.

This implies that;

°API = API Gravity = 15
T = Temperature (°Rankine) = 30
P_b^* = Mean Bubble Point = 40
γ_g = Gas Gravity at Actual Separator P_sep and T_sep = 54

γ_gs = γ_g[(^(°API)0.989 / _{(T – 460)^0.172})P_b^*]^1.2255
Then, γ_gs = 54[(^(15)0.989 / _{(30 – 460)^0.172})40]^1.2255
γ_gs = 54[(^(15)0.989 / _(-430)0.172)40]^1.2255
γ_gs = 54[(^(15)0.989 / _(NaN))40]^1.2255
So, γ_gs = 54[(^14.5 / _NaN)40]^1.2255
γ_gs = 54[(NaN)40]^1.2255
γ_gs = 54[NaN]^1.2255
Next, γ_gs = 54[NaN]
γ_gs = NaN

Therefore, the glass gas solubility is NaN.
