Equations & Method
Katz Chart Correlation (approximate): Th = a × ln(P) + b; coefficients depend on gas gravity.
Hammerschmidt equation (methanol): ΔTdepression = 2335 × W / (M × (100-W)); W = wt% MeOH, M = 32 g/mol
Reference: Katz (1945), Hammerschmidt (1934). For rigorous calculation, use thermodynamic simulation.
