Abstract

Two methods to calculate the water content of water (1)–methane (2) system in the liquid–gas and ice–gas regions at temperatures from 253 to 373 K are proposed and tested in this work. Both are based on the assumption that the influence of methane solubility in liquid water on the calculated water content can be neglected (i.e., only pure water is considered in the liquid phase). A survey of experimental data is also given.
