Lec 6

This document discusses methods for converting between distillation curves, including the API and Daubert methods. It also covers thermal properties of petroleum like specific heat and heat of combustion. Specific heat depends on temperature and density, and can be estimated using provided equations and figures. Heat of combustion increases with temperature, API, and hydrogen content, and decreases with sulfur, ash, and water content, with example equations and figures provided. An example calculation is given for determining the heat required to heat 100 barrels of crude oil from 100 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conversion between Distillation Curves


A) API Method
1- TBP vs ASTM

TBP  a ( ASTM )b

(T should be in R for ASTM or TBP)

2- ASTM vs EFV

EFV  a (ASTM)b ( sp.gr ) c

(T should be in R for ASTM or TBP)

B) Daubert Method.
More recently, Daubert (1994) published a new method for distillation curves interconversion
using the following equations:

The symbols stands for ASTM D86 and TBP temperatures, respectively, both in
F. The subscripts 0 and f stand for the initial and final temperatures, respectively. Ai and Bi
are constants given in Table below.

Thermal Properties

1) Specific Heat (cp): The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise
the temperature by one degree Celsius. It depends on the temp., where it increases with
increasing in temp. and decreasing in density. The following eq. can be used to estimate cp

is the density of oil at 15.6 0C, g/cm3.

Also Fig. 13 is used to find cp. For hydrocarbons gasses, Fig.14 is used for this purpose.

Ex: How much heat is required to heat 100 bbl of crude oil (API = 40) from 100 to 200 F.

Sol: Note: Appendix A is used to convert vol. to weight of Oil materials.


From Appendix A, at API 40, lb/bbl = 288.54
From Fig. 13, cp at 100F = 0.465 Btu/lb.F and at 200F = 0.54 Btu/lb.F
Average cp = (0.465+0.54)/2 = 0.52 Btu/lb.F
m = 288.54 lb/bbl * 100 bbl = 28200.54 lb
Q = 0.52 * 28200.54 * (200 – 100) = 1466428.08 Btu

2) Heat of Combustion: The amount of heat released per unit mass or unit volume of a
substance when the substance is completely burned under standard conditions.
For crude oil or oil fractions, the heat of combustion increases with increasing in temp., API
and hydrogen content, and decreases with increasing in sulfur, ash and water content.

Heat of combustion  43434  93.2(API - 10), kJ/kg
