TRCTHERMO is a numeric database containing the evaluated data published in hardcopy form in the TRC Thermodynamic Tables - Hydrocarbons and TRC Thermodynamic Tables - Non-Hydrocarbons. It does not contain references to the data used in the evaluations, nor references to additional experimental and evaluated data from other sources. The database features the most frequently used thermodynamic data, including, when available, boiling point, critical compressibility, critical constants, density, dynamic viscosity, enthalpy, and other physical properties. 

When the ratio of AP/Fi exceeds 0.02, the gas is undergoing compression. Critical flow occurs when the flow is not a function of the square root of the pressure drop across the valve, but only of the upstream pressure. This phenomenon occurs when the fluid reaches sonic velocity at the vena contracta. Since gas cannot travel faster than sonic velocity, critical flow is a flow-limiting condition for gas. It has been found that critical flow occurs at different APIP ratios, depending on whether the valve is high or low recovery. 

T = absolute temperature P = absolute pressure V = specific volume Z = compressibility = critical temperature P, = critical pressure... 

The critical compressibility factor is estimated using the Lee and Kesler equation (1975) ... 

The experiment could be repeated at a number of different temperatures and initial pressures to determine the shape of the two-phase envelope defined by the bubble point line and the dew point line. These two lines meet at the critical point, where it is no longer possible to distinguish between a compressed gas and a liquid. 

This equation is analogous to the compressibility equation for fluids and diverges with the same exponent y as the critical temperaUire is approached from above ... 

Finally, we consider the isothennal compressibility = hi V/dp)y = d hi p/5p) j, along tlie coexistence curve. A consideration of Figure A2.5.6 shows that the compressibility is finite and positive at every point in the one-phase region except at tlie critical point. Differentiation of equation (A2.5.2) yields the compressibility along the critical isochore ... 

At the critical pohit (and anywhere in the two-phase region because of the horizontal tie-line) the compressibility is infinite. However the compressibility of each conjugate phase can be obtained as a series expansion by evaluating the derivative (as a fiuictioii of p. ) for a particular value of T, and then substituting the values of p. for the ends of the coexistence curve. The final result is... 

A third exponent y, usually called the susceptibility exponent from its application to the magnetic susceptibility x in magnetic systems, governs what m pure-fluid systems is the isothennal compressibility k, and what in mixtures is the osmotic compressibility, and detennines how fast these quantities diverge as the critical point is approached (i.e. as > 1). 

The brackets symbolize fiinction of, not multiplication.) Smce there are only two parameters, and a, in this expression, the homogeneity assumption means that all four exponents a, p, y and S must be fiinctions of these two hence the inequalities in section A2.5.4.5(e) must be equalities. Equations for the various other thennodynamic quantities, in particular the singidar part of the heat capacity Cy and the isothemial compressibility Kp may be derived from this equation for p. The behaviour of these quantities as tire critical point is approached can be satisfied only if... 

If the finite size of the system is ignored (after all, A is probably 10 or greater), the compressibility is essentially infinite at the critical point, and then so are the fluctuations. In reality, however, the compressibility diverges more sharply than classical theory allows (the exponent y is significantly greater dian 1), and thus so do the fluctuations. 

The field-density concept is especially usefiil in recognizing the parallelism of path in different physical situations. The criterion is the number of densities held constant the number of fields is irrelevant. A path to the critical point that holds only fields constant produces a strong divergence a path with one density held constant yields a weak divergence a path with two or more densities held constant is nondivergent. Thus the compressibility Kj,oi a one-component fluid shows a strong divergence, while Cj in the one-component fluid is comparable to (constant pressure and composition) in the two-component fluid and shows a weak... 

In 1972 Wegner [25] derived a power-series expansion for the free energy of a spin system represented by a Flamiltonian roughly equivalent to the scaled equation (A2.5.28). and from this he obtained power-series expansions of various themiodynamic quantities around the critical point. For example the compressibility... 

The critical pressure, critical molar volume, and critical temperature are the values of the pressure, molar volume, and thermodynamic temperature at which the densities of coexisting liquid and gaseous phases just become identical. At this critical point, the critical compressibility factor, Z, is ...
