About

     Next to CO2-H2O, CH4-H2O is the most important gas-water binary system in nature, widely found in different geospheres of the Earth. Liquid-vapor phase equilibrium (or solubility of CH4 in liquid phase or H2O solubility in vapor phase), density, fugacity coefficient, activity, bulk modulus, the formation conditions of CH4-hydrate, and the homogenization pressure and density of fluid inclusions are calculated based on the most updated models. Questions can be directed to: duanzhenhao@yahoo.com.
