Thermodynamic modeling is also used to predict solubility so that it can be used with good confidence in a wide range of temperature and pressure. For this purpose, the solubility of pure ethane gas in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent at different temperatures (278.1, 298.1, and 328.1 K) and different pressures up to 14 bars was investigated using a batch stirred experimental absorption pressure decaying setup. The kinetic and equilibrium data of the absorption including the solubility coefficient, heat of absorption, entropy, and Gibbs free energy changes were calculated at different temperatures. Then, the solubility was predicted after adjusting the binary interaction parameters using \(\phi -\phi\) and \(\phi -\gamma\) approaches by implementing PR-EOS, Wilson and UNIQUAC activity coefficient models. The absolute mean deviations produced by the models were less than 18.5% for PR-PR, less than 12.3% for PR-Wilson, and less than 12.0% for PR-UNIQUAC, indicating the reliability of these thermodynamic models for the present chemical system.
