ABSTRACT
The paper presents the results of measuring the capillary constant a2 and calculating the surface tension of ethane-methane solutions. Experimental data have been obtained in the temperature range from93.15 to 283.15 K at pressures from that of saturated vapors of pure ethane to 4 MPa. Equations that approximate the temperature, pressure and concentration dependences of a2 and are suggested. Theconcentration dependence of the surface tension is described in the framework of models of an ideal and a regular solution. The relative adsorption has been calculated.
