Natural Gas Volume In A Tank

Hello,

I'd like to determine natural gas volume at different pressures.  The purpose is for storage in a tank.

I'd thank you a lot!

Hi Lizbeth ,

Can you provide a sketch and explain a bit more about the process ?

What about P*V=Z*R*T ?

hope this helps.

One doesn't store natural gas in a tank. Unless it is liquefied. Or the pressure is elevate to 2000 to 3000 psi as in a CNG powered vehicle. Thus your query is puzzling. If it is CNG, you should find lots of information on the web.

Lizbeth:

Before taking this query further, please answer some basic questions:

1. Are you a layperson, student, or practicing engineer?  This thread is not process simulation related, so I have to move it.
2. Are you dealing with a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) cylinder - as Bobby has indicated?
3. Are you trying to find the volumetric content of a specific, already-fabricated vessel?  If so - what size, pressure, and temperature rating does it have?  I filled a lot of compressed gas cylinders while managing gas plants in Peru over 52 years ago, and one way to control the amount of cylinder content was by weight.  This may or may not apply to your query.
4. Or are you trying to find the size of a pressure vessel that could safely contain a specific quantity of natural gas?  If so, what are the temperature, pressure, and composition of the stored natural gas?  The composition of the natural gas is important.
