Zusammenfassung:•Experimental measurements LV, LL, and LLV phase equilibria are presented.•Increasing the proportion of n-hexadecane in the mixture.•Barotropic inversion.•Thermodynamic modeling using the peng-robinson equation of state. The interest in understanding reservoir fluids' phase behavior is to increase hydrocarbon production without any flow assurance issues. Due to its opacity, the evident complexity of determining phase equilibrium data revolves around the thermodynamic modeling of model systems. The article presents experimental phase equilibrium data and thermodynamic modeling for the CO2 + decane + hexadecane ternary system at 283.15, 298.15, and 323.15 K and pressures up to 20 MPa. The transitions observed during this study were liquid-liquid (LL), vapor-liquid (VL), and vapor-liquid-liquid (VLL). The Peng-Robinson equation of state was used to model this ternary system for various compositions. The temperature-dependent binary interaction parameters (kij) for the CO2 + n-alkane mixtures were adjusted to the experimental data. Additionally, a binary interaction parameter for the n-C16H34/n-C10H22 pair, independent of temperature, was obtained through the critical volume of the components. The results reveal complex behaviors as the mixture's composition of hexadecane progressively increases. Adding this longer-chain linear hydrocarbon influences the phase behavior, leading to the emergence of liquid-liquid transitions and barotropic inversion in the system. This study contributes valuable data on model systems representing crude oil, highlighting complex behaviors in ternary systems with high carbon dioxide content.
