Thermophysical properties of propane from 85 to 700/sup 0/K at pressures to 70 MPa

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6402039

Thermophysical properties of propane are tabulated at integral temperatures over the entire range of fluid states from 85 to 700/sup 0/K along isobars to 70 MPa by using a modified form of the nonanalytic equation of state. These tables, along with a table for the saturated liquid, include values for density, compressibility factor, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, heat capacities, fugacity, sound velocity, dielectric constant, and isochore and isotherm derivatives. In addition to the equation of state, equations are presented for vapor pressures, orthobaric vapor and liquid densities, ideal gas properties, virial coefficients, dielectric constants, heats of vaporization, melting C, and orthobaric liquid specific heats, enthalpies, and entropies. Coefficients were determined by a least squares fit of selected experimental data, including several new sets of data not included in previous propane correlations. Comparisons between experimental and calculated values are given, including those for sound velocities, heat capacities, P-rho-T data, etc.
