Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pressure vessel design technology, and in particular to a method for accurately calculating the density of high-pressure pure gas. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, pressure vessels, as a special industry in China, have been widely used in the field of engineering technology. With the deepening of the market and the development of technology, contemporary pressure vessels have begun to gradually adopt miniaturization design ideas and concepts. To store the same gas while reducing the volume, higher gas pressure will be generated. As the gas pressure increases and the temperature decreases, the actual gas density differs significantly from the calculation results of the ideal gas law and van der Waals equation, which cannot accurately guide the fine design of pressure vessels and the gas filling work of pressure vessels.
[0003] Currently, in the design of pressure vessels both domestically and internationally, the calculation results for gas density are all based on the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation; the ideal gas law... Where P is the gas pressure, T is the Kelvin temperature, R is the molar gas constant, and V m The equation, which uses molar volume as the reference value, is an ideal model that ignores the volume of the molecules themselves and the intermolecular forces. The equation only has a good fitting effect when the intermolecular distance is large, i.e., when the pressure is low and the temperature is high.
[0004] van der Waals equations Where a is the molecular attraction correction factor, b is the molecular volume correction factor, and T c P is the critical temperature. c The critical pressure is the equation. This equation is a modified equation derived from the ideal gas law, taking into account the volume of the molecules themselves and the intermolecular forces. The equation introduces two parameters, a and b, where parameter a is related to the intermolecular forces and parameter b is related to the molecular volume. The equation can reflect some properties of real gases to a certain extent, but there are still large deviations at higher pressures (close to the critical pressure) and lower temperatures (close to the critical temperature).
[0005] For example, when the pressure of nitrogen reaches 60 MPa or higher, the density calculation deviation rate is as high as 5%; when the pressure reaches 100 MPa or higher, the density calculation deviation rate is as high as 10%. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an accurate calculation method to improve the accuracy of density calculation for pure gases under high pressure. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for accurately calculating the density of high-pressure pure gas.

[0011] Find the critical temperature T of a gas. c Critical pressure P c The molar mass M and the eccentricity factor parameter x are used to calculate multiple actual density parameters of the gas at the same temperature but different pressures. The test data are then fitted to obtain the fitting parameters, s = k1x. 2 +k2x+k3,a s =k4a,b s =k5b, calculate k1 = -0.16, k2 = 1.55, k3 = 1.48, k4 = 1.01, k5 = 0.69;

[0013] Query the van der Waals equation corrections 'a' and 'b' for the gas whose density needs to be calculated, and substitute them into 'a'. s =k4a,b s =k5b, where k4 = 1.01, k5 = 0.69, find a. s and b s The value;
[0014] Measure the temperature T and gas pressure P of the gas whose density needs to be calculated, where the temperature value is the Kelvin value in Kelvin (K) and the gas pressure value is in MPa; substitute these values into the formula. In the middle, V is calculated. mThen the density value of the gas to be density calculated at temperature T and gas pressure P is ρ = M / V m .
[0015] By employing the technical solution described above, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention discloses a precise method for calculating the density of high-pressure pure gas. Based on accumulated data from actual production, the method shows that even at a pressure of 100 MPa, the deviation rate between the calculated density data and the measured value is still less than 2%, effectively improving the accuracy of the calculation. This method can accurately guide the refined design of pressure vessels and the gas filling process of pressure vessels. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Combined with appendix Figure 1 A precise method for calculating the density of high-pressure pure gas, which improves the van der Waals equation, includes the following steps:
[0021] A1. Correction of the van der Waals equation: A gas molecule characteristic correction coefficient 's' is added to the second term of the van der Waals equation to correct the parameters 'a' (related to intermolecular attraction) and 'b' (related to molecular volume), resulting in the accurate calculation equation. R is the universal gas constant, R = 8.314 J·mol⁻¹ -1 ·K -1 ;
[0022] A second-order Taylor expansion of the gas molecule characteristic correction coefficient s at point 0 with respect to the property eccentricity factor parameter x yields the expansion formula s = k1x 2+k2x+k3; Under higher pressure, the smaller the intermolecular distance, the more obvious the anisotropy of intermolecular forces. Therefore, a gas molecule characteristic correction coefficient s is added to the second term of the van der Waals equation. Since the anisotropy of intermolecular forces is related to the molecular eccentricity factor parameter, the coefficient s is expressed as a function of the eccentricity factor.

While keeping the temperature constant, weigh the gas after filling, m1. Calculate the weight difference Δm1, which is the weight of the nitrogen gas. Then, the corresponding gas density ρ1 = Δm1 / V, Vm1 = M / ρ1, thus determining a set of correspondences between P and Vm. Repeat the above steps to measure and calculate multiple sets of data, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, and by substituting the exact calculation equation... By fitting the data, the corresponding parameter values in the formula can be obtained: s = k1x 2 +k2x+k3,a s =k4a,b s =k5b, where k1 = -0.16, k2 = 1.55, k3 = 1.48, k4 = 1.01, k5 = 0.69;
