GENERALIZED THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF A PURE SUBSTANCE.

Summary

A METHOD HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR GENERATING THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF A PURE GASEOUS SUBSTANCEAT ANY GIVEN PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE USING THE REDLICH-KWONG EQUATION OF STATE. A COMPUTER CODE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO CALCULATE THE VALUES OF SPECIFIC VOLUME, COMPRESSIBILITY FACTOR, ENTHALPY, INTERNAL ENERGY, ENTROPY, CONSTANT PRESSUREAND CONSTANT VOLUME SPECIFIC HEATS, JOULE-THOMSON COEFFICIENT, GIBBS FUNCTION, FUGACITY COEFFICIENT, AND HELMHOLTZ FUNCTION. THE OUTPUT OF THE COMPUTER PROGRAM MAY EITHER BE OBTAINED IN DIMENSIONAL OR NONDIMENSIONAL FORM. A SIMPLE ERROR ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTER-GENERATED PROPERTY TABLES FOR VARIOUS COMMON SUBSTANCES WERE QUITE ACCURATE WHEN COMPARED WITH THE VALUES GIVEN IN THE APPENDIXES OF STANDARD TEXTS OF THERMODYNAMICS.
