What pressure will condensate drop out of methane gas form and become liquid condensate hydrocarbons?

If you are asking how much pressure you would have to compress methane to in order to liquify it at room temperature, the answer is that methane won't liquify at room temperature. The critical temperature for methane is -87.2 degrees centigrade. Above that temperature it will not liquify no matter how much pressure you apply. At -82.7 degrees centigrade it would take a pressure of 45.96 bar to get it to liquify. See: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/critical.html


How do old natural gas tanks work?

Old natural gas tanks work by storing compressed natural gas at high pressure. A regulator controls the flow of gas out of the tank for use in appliances or vehicles. As the gas is used, the pressure in the tank decreases, requiring periodic refills to maintain a steady supply.


How do you compress natural gas?

Natural gas is compressed by removing impurities and water, then using compressors to increase its pressure. This process reduces the volume of natural gas, making it easier to transport and store. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is typically stored in high-pressure tanks for use as a fuel source.


Why A gas can be compressed but a liquid cannot?

An ideal gas is, precisely, an idealization - a ficticious substance that will NOT liquify, but remain a gas, and have a volume that is exactly proportional to the temperature (at a given pressure). Real gases are an approximation to an ideal gas, under a wide variety of conditions, but at low temperatures, or high pressures, there are discrepancies.


Is natural gas a liquid gas or solid?

Natural gas in its normal form is a gas. When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of -162 degrees C, it is compressed into a liquid is is 1/600th its original size. Liquefied natural gas is much easier to transport then compressed natural gas.

How can you liquify gas?

At 1atm pressure, nitrogen should be cooled below -196C in order to liquify. When it comes to industrial purposes, a higher pressure is usually used as the meting point rises.


Conditions to liquify gas?

To liquify a gas, it must be cooled below its critical temperature while maintaining a pressure above its critical pressure. This causes the gas to condense into a liquid state, where the intermolecular forces are strong enough to overcome the kinetic energy of the particles. This process is typically achieved through compression and cooling in a refrigeration system.


What are the steps involved in conducting a natural gas pressure test?

The steps involved in conducting a natural gas pressure test include shutting off the gas supply, connecting a pressure gauge to the system, pressurizing the system to the required level, monitoring the pressure for a specified time, and checking for any drop in pressure which could indicate a leak.


Why doesn't the gas present in the universe liquify though the universe is expanding?

Because there is no pressure being placed on the gas, the molecules do not become condensed enough to form a liquid.


How can we convert 38000 Cubic meters of natural gas to Tons?

Without knowing whether this is atmospheric-pressure natural gas, pipeline-pressure or compressed natural gas (and the pressure it's been compressed to), or liquefied natural gas, this is an unanswerable question.


Do you need a regulator on a natural gas fireplace?

Yes, a regulator is typically required for a natural gas fireplace to ensure the gas pressure is correct and safe for use. It helps regulate the flow of gas from the supply line to the fireplace, preventing pressure fluctuations that could lead to issues such as incomplete combustion or gas leaks.


Define compressed natural gas?

Compressed natural gas is natural gas under pressure which remains clear, odorless, and non-corrosive. This is when natural gas is compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.


What pressure is medium pressure natural gas supplied?

medium pressure


How does pressure help in liquefaction of a gas?

Pressure helps in liquefaction of a gas by reducing the volume occupied by the gas molecules, which in turn forces them closer together. When the gas molecules are compressed under high pressure, they lose their kinetic energy and slow down, allowing intermolecular forces to overcome the kinetic energy and pull the molecules closer together, leading to liquefaction.

What is the liquefaction point of oxygen gas?

In order to liquify oxygen gas, the critical temperature is 154.58K (i.e., -118.57 °C) and the critical pressure is 5.043MPa.


Can energy be released when a gas Becomes a liquid?

It must. You have to take heat out of the gas in order to liquify it.
