Ar

 

Ar provides ideal gas thermodynamic properties for argon valid over the temperature range from 100 K to 6000 K based on the property information in McBride et al. (2002).

The reference state for specific enthalpy is 0 at 25 C.  The reference state for specific entropy is 154.837 at 298.15 K and 101.3 kPa

 

Thermal conductivity data were fit from data in:

"Reference Handbook of Thermal Conductivity of Liquids and Gases, Vargaftik et al., 1994, CRC Press and applicable for temperatures between 100 K and 6000  K. 

 

Viscosity is from the ideal gas contribution reported in:

E.W. Lemmon and R.T. Jacobsen

Note that Ar provides thermodynamic properties assuming ideal gas behavior.  Use Argon to provide real fluid properties in the subcooled, saturated mixture, and superheated regimes.
