Research Abstract	Phase equilibria for water + hydrocarbon + hydrocarbon ternary systems which include the water + hydrocarbon binary systems with different phase behavior were measured at near the critical point of water. The mixing in micro channel was used for the mass transfer promotion between two phases on the phase equilibrium measurements. The phase equilibrium data were accumulated by changing temperatures and pressures. The complex phase behavior for sub- and supercritical water + hydrocarbon mixture is focused in this work.
