Contribution to the study of the thermodynamical properties of Algerian crude oil with the use of different numerical methods

الملخص EN

It is not always easy to measure experimentally certain physical or chemical properties of pure components of petroleum fractions.

This had led us to develop equations which, with the help of the computer, enabled us to estimate these properties when at least one of them is known.

Our study was limited to the C5 to C10 components of the light fractions.

Further, we propose two correlations from which the fractional composition of paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics contained in petroleum fractions can be derived.
