LPG1
LPG1 provides thermodynamic and transport property information for a petroleum gas mixture consisting of 65 mass % propane, 25% propylene and 10% n-butane. This mixture is commonly referred to as LPG. is a zeotropic It has a molar mass of 44.6 kg/kmol.
Property data are provided using a generalized equation of state fitted by F-Chart Software using thermodynamic property data generated by REFPROP. The model is applicable for temperatures between 140 K and 630 K with pressures up to 100 MPa. The reference state is saturated liquid at 0 C for which specific enthalpy and entropy are 200 kJ/kg and 1.0 kJ/kg-K, respectively.
Transport properties are estimated using a corresponding states approach as suggested in:
