Experimental values are determined either directly from calorimetric measurements. or indirectly through the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, using experimental data for the vapor pressure and the saturated molar volumes. Correlations of experimental data as a function of temperature for a large number of compounds is given by Daubert and Danner. 

Numerous mathematical formulas relating the temperature and pressure of the gas phase in equilibrium with the condensed phase have been proposed. The Antoine equation (Eq. 1) gives good correlation with experimental values. Equation 2 is simpler and is often suitable over restricted temperature ranges. In these equations, and the derived differential coefficients for use in the Hag-genmacher and Clausius-Clapeyron equations, the p term is the vapor pressure of the compound in pounds per square inch (psi), the t term is the temperature in degrees Celsius, and the T term is the absolute temperature in kelvins (r°C -I- 273.15). 

Curve fitting to data is most successhil when the form of the equation used is based on a known theoretical relationship between the variables associated with the data points, eg, use of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation for vapor pressure. In the absence of known theoretical relationships, polynomials are one of the most usehil forms to describe a curve. Polynomials are easy to evaluate the coefficients are linear and the degree, ie, the highest power appearing in the equation, is a convenient measure of smoothness. Lower orders yield smoother fits. 

Better examples of shortcut design methods developed from property data are fractionator tray efficiency, from viscosity " and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation which is useful for approximating vapor pressure at a given temperature if the vapor pressure at a different temperature is known. The reference states that all vapor pressure equations can be traced back to this one. 

This suggests that a plot of P against 1/T should yield a line having a local slope of (-A, /R). A straight line is obtained only when is nearly constant, i.e., over a narrow range of temperatures.

As pointed out earlier, the equilibrium constant of a system changes with temperature. The form of the equation relating K to T is a familiar one, similar to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation (Chapter 9) and the Arrhenius equation (Chapter 11). This one is called the van t Hoff equation, honoring Jacobus van t Hoff (1852-1911), who was the first to use the equilibrium constant, K. Coincidentally, van t Hoff was a good friend of Arrhenius. The equation is...

The first approach developed by Hsu (1962) is widely used to determine ONE in conventional size channels and in micro-channels (Sato and Matsumura 1964 Davis and Anderson 1966 Celata et al. 1997 Qu and Mudawar 2002 Ghiaasiaan and Chedester 2002 Li and Cheng 2004 Liu et al. 2005). These models consider the behavior of a single bubble by solving the one-dimensional heat conduction equation with constant wall temperature as a boundary condition. The temperature distribution inside the surrounding liquid is the same as in the undisturbed near-wall flow, and the temperature of the embryo tip corresponds to the saturation temperature in the bubble 7s,b- The vapor temperature in the bubble can be determined from the Young-Laplace equation and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation (assuming a spherical bubble) ... 

Although thermodynamically it is relatively simple to determine the amount of water vapor that enters the atmosphere using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation (see, e.g.. Chapter 6, Equation (1)), its resultant atmospheric residence time and effect on clouds are both highly uncertain. Therefore this seemingly easily describable feedback is very difficult to quantify. 

If one measures the boiling points at several pressures, including that of atmospheric pressure, one can then extrapolate to obtain the vapor pressure of a material at ambient temperature. This is done using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, i.e.-...
