Reference State
h = 0 kJ/kg, s = 0 kJ/kg-K at 298.15 K, 101.325 kPa. The reference state can be changed using the $Reference directive.
Range of applicability for equation of state:
222 K < T < 644 K
0 < P < 55 MPa
Viscosity and thermal conductivity are by regressing values obtained from the NIST Standard Reference Database 14, National Institute of Standards and Technology, E.W. Lemmon, A.P. Peskin, M.O. McLinden, and D.G. Friend, (2000). The ranges of applicability for transport function correlations are:
Gas-phase viscosity: 222 K to 644 K
Liquid-phase viscosity: 222 K to 502 K
Gas-phase thermal conductivity: 222 K to 644 K
Liquid-phase thermal conductivity: 222 K to 502 K
Surface tension data are provided through a correlation developed by:
