Molecular-mass distribution of n-paraffins of Tengiz crude oil
The molecular mass distribution (MMD) of paraffinic hydrocarbons with the normal structure was studied. It was found that the MMD of n-alkanes C12H26-C37H76 obeyed with a satisfactory accuracy the statistical Schulz-Flory distribution with a distribution parameter of of alpha = 0.77 +/- 0.01.
