Solubility of ethylene in methyl propionate

In this work, the solubility of ethylene in methyl propionate was measured within a temperature range of 283.5–464.8 K and pressures up to 10.7 MPa. Experiments were carried out using the Cailletet apparatus, which uses a synthetic method for the experiments. The critical points of several isopleths have also been determined experimentally for this system. The Peng–Robinson equation of state was used to predict the solubility of ethylene in methyl propionate. The absolute average deviation for all of the calculated points was 5.8%.
