SRC-I thermophysical property data base. Volume 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6492187

This report presents the results of a literature search for thermophysical property data pertinent to the slurrying, reaction, and/or separation sections of a coal liquefaction processing facility. This project sought to establish a document that would be an efficient means to archive and retrieve coal liquefaction thermophysical property data. Six seperate literature data bases were searched for public documents to 1983. Specific thermophysical properties addressed in the literature search included: vapor/liquid equilibria (VLE), enthalpy, vapor pressure, pressure/volume/temperature or density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension. The results of this project are presented in terms of specially formatted citations, reference statements, and a cross-reference index. The citations provide sufficient literature citation information to allow retrieval of source documents from any scientific library. The associated reference statements for each citation describe the contents of the source documents with information such as the type of physical property measured, composition of the mixture, and the range of temperaure and pressure covered by the data. The results of this literature search approximately 500 citations containing thermophysical property data relevant to coal liquefaction processing and suitable for development of thermophysical properties correlations. Citations and reference statements have been organized sequentially by property and are presented in Volume 2. Volume 1 provides a brief description of the actual work performed in compiling the thermophysical property data base. In addition, it describes the major limitations of the existing data base information and provides specific guidelines and recommendations for updating the data base in the future. 21 references.
