Abstract: A statistical-mechanical-based equation of state(EOS)for pure substances,the Tao-Mason equation of state,is successfully extended to prediction of the(p-v-T)properties of fourteen natural gas mixtures at temperatures from 225 K to 483 K and pressures up to 60.5 MPa.This work shows that the Tao-Mason equation of state for multicomponent natural gas is predictable with minimal input information,namely critical temperature,critical pressure,and the Pitzer acentric factor.The calculated results agree well with the experimental data.From a total of 963 data of density and 330 data of compressibility factor for natural gases examined in this work,the average absolute deviations(AAD)are 1.704% and 1.344%,respectively.The present EOS is further assessed through the comparisons with Peng-Robinson(PR)equation of state.For the all of mixtures Tao-Mason(TM) EOS outperforms the PR EOS.
