The data on thermodynamic and transport properties of sodium have been reviewed to obtain thermodynamically consistent equations for the thermodynamic and transport properties of saturated sodium liquid and vapor. This article includes new information not included in previous assessments, such as recently available Russian data and analysis. Properties assessed include: vapor pressure, critical parameters, boiling point, enthalpy, heat capacity, enthalpy of vaporization, density, thermal expansion, adiabatic and isothermal compressibility, speed of sound, surface tension, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. Recommended values and their uncertainties are tabulated as functions of temperature.
