AMMONIA or R717

 

AMMONIA provides thermodynamic properties for ammonia using the fundamental equation of state developed by Tillner-Roth, Harms-Watzenberg, and Baehr, "Eine neue Fundamentalgleichung fur Ammoniak", DKV-Tagungsbericht 20:167-181, 1993.

 

The default values of specific enthalpy and entropy are referred to 200 kJ/kg and 1.00 kJ/kg-K, respectively for the state of saturated liquid at 273.15 K.  The reference state can be changed using the $Reference directive.

 

Viscosity is provided using the representation of:

S. A. Monogenidou1, M. J. Assael1, and M. L. Huber,

"Reference Correlation for the Viscosity of Ammonia from the Triple Point to 725 K and up to 50 MPa"

J Phys Chem Ref Data. 2018 ; 47: 

doi:10.1063/1.5036724

Critical point enhancement is not implemented. 

(Versions prior to 11.596 used the correlation of Fenghour, A., et al,  J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, Vol. 24, No., 5, 1995.)

 

Thermal conductivity information is based on the correlation of:

S. A. Monogenidou,S.A.,Assael,M. J. and Huber,M.L.,

"Reference Correlation for the Thermal Conductivity of Ammonia from the Triple-Point Temperature to 680 K and Pressures up to 80 MPa"
