Abstract

Biogas is drawing attention as it can be a solution both to increase the renewable energy for heat or power supply and to help achieve a decarbonized economy. In this work, the measurements of the speed of sound of three mixtures of biogas from the biomethanation plant of the municipal waste of Valdemingómez, Madrid (Spain), are presented. The measurements were performed using an acoustic resonator, which is able to measure the speed of sound of gas mixtures with a relative expanded uncertainty of approximately 0.08%. A virial-type equation was also applied to fit the experimental values of the speed of sound, and the heat capacities as perfect gas were derived with uncertainties below 0.8%. In addition, the experimental results were compared with those calculated with the reference equations of state for natural gas mixtures such as GERG-2008 and AGA8-DC92. For both equations, the average relative deviations were less than 0.02% and 0.2% for the speed of sound and the heat capacities, respectively. These values are less than the uncertainties of these equations, demonstrating their reliability in predicting the thermodynamic behavior of biogas.
