Butene thermodynamic properties

Physical Properties of Monomers. 1-Butene [106-98-9] is a colorless, flammable, noncorrosive gas its physical properties are fisted in Table 1, and its thermodynamic properties are available (16). Because 1-butene has a very low flash point, it poses a strong fire and explosion hazard. 

The values in these tables were generated from the NIST REFPROP software (Lemmon, E. W., McLinden, M. O., and Huber, M. L., NIST Standard Reference Database 23 Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties—REFPROP, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Standard Reference Data Program, Gaithersburg, Md., 2002, Version 7.1). The primary source for the thermodynamic properties is Lemmon, E. W, and Ihmels, E. C., Thermodynamic Properties of the Butenes. Part II. Short Fundamental Equations of State, Fluid Those Equilibria 228-2290 173-187, 2005. Validated equations for the viscosity and thermal conductivity are not currently available for this fluid.

Borstar is an industrial olefin polymerization plant/technology, which combines different polymerization processes and reactor units, utilizing an advanced catalytic system. In the present work, a detailed model for the dynamic and steady-state simulation of this industrial plant has been developed. A comprehensive kinetic model for the ethylene-1-butene copolymerization over a two-site catalyst was employed to predict the MWD and CCD in the Borstar process. The Sanchez-Lacombe equation of state (S-L EoS) was employed for the thermodynamic properties of the polymerization system and the phase equilibrium calculations in the process units.
