C8H18

 

C8H18 provides ideal gas thermodynamic property data for n-octane over the temperature range from 200 K to 6000 K.  The ideal gas specific heat uses the correlation provided by

 

The reference state for specific enthalpy is based on the enthalpy of formation relative to the elements at 25 C.  The reference state for specific entropy is based on the Third Law of Thermodynamics.  The reference values are from:

The low density viscosity correlation is applicable (with an uncertainty of 2%) for 250 K< T < 550 K

The low density thermal conductivity correlation is applicable (with a 10% uncertainty) for 400 K < T < 650 K
