PROPYLENE
PROPYLENE provides high accuracy thermodynamic and transport properties for propylene (C3H6, R1270, Molar mass = 42.080 g/mole) using the Fundamental Equation of State presented by Reiner Tillner-Roth, "Fundamental Equations of State", Shaker, Verlag, Aachan, 1998. This equation of state is valid for temperatures between 100 K < T < 600 K and for pressures up to 200 MPa. The source of the data for this formulation is:

Ancillary equations for vapor pressure and saturated liquid and vapor density are provided by Professor Steve Penoncello, College of Engineering, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, 83844-1011
Reference State
T=298.15 K, P=101.325 kPa: h=0 kJ/kg, s=0 kJ/kg-K in ideal gas state. The reference state can be changed using the $Reference directive.
Transport and surface tension data were fit from the tabular data provided by:
P.E. Liley and P.D. Desai,
"Thermophysical Properties of Refrigerants", ASHRAE, 1993, ISBN 1-1883413-10-9.
The valid temperature ranges for these transport data are as follows:
gas phase viscosity: 225 K < T < 575 K
liquid phase viscosity: 100 K < T < 325 K
gas phase thermal conductivity: 200 K < T < 600 K
liquid phase thermal conductivity: 100 K < T < 360 K
Surface tension data are provided using the information in:
