Goodwin, Thermophysical Properties of Normal Butane from 135 to 700 K at Pressures to 70 MPa, U.S. Dept, of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards Monograph 169, 1982, 192 pp. Tabulated data include densities, compressibility factors, internal energies, enthalpies, entropies, heat capacities, fugacities and more. Equations are given for calculating vapor pressures, liquid and vapor densities, ideal gas properties, second virial coefficients, heats of vaporization, liquid specific heats, enthalpies and entropies. 

On a different note, after some 50 years of intensive research on high-pressure shock compression, there are still many outstanding problems that cannot be solved. For example, it is not possible to predict ab initio the time scales of the shock-transition process or the thermophysical and mechanical properties of condensed media under shock compression. For the most part, these properties must presently be evaluated experimentally for incorporation into semiempirical theories. To realize the potential of truly predictive capabilities, it will be necessary to develop first-principles theories that have robust predictive capability. This will require critical examination of the fundamental postulates and assumptions used to interpret shock-compression processes. For example, it is usually assumed that a steady state is achieved immediately after the shock-transition process. However, due to the fact that... 

Density or the pressure-volume-temperature (P-V-T) relationship is considered along with enthalpy and vapour-liquid equilibria as the three most essential thermophysical properties in the petroleum refining industry. The compressibility or density is commonly used in the petroleum industry to determine the volumetric properties of gases and liquids, information that is vital for transportation, safety and sale of petroleum fluids. 

For slightly metastable states of superheated water no problems arise in describing its thermophysical properties. They differ little Ifom properties on the saturation line. But a problem will arise at the approach of the spinodal, when isothermal compressibility, thermal expansion and isobaric heat capacity tend to infinity. 

A molecular dynamics calculation was performed for thorium mononitride ThN(cr) in the temperature range from 300 to 2800 K to evaluate the thermophysical properties, viz. the lattice parameter, linear thermal expansion coefficient, compressibility, heat capacity (C° ), and thermal conductivity. A Morse-type function added to the Busing-Ida type potential was employed as the potential function for interatomic interactions. The interatomic potential parameters were semi-empirically determined by fitting to the experimental variation of the lattice parameter with temperature. 

The thermophysical and thermodynamic properties of liquid water as well as its chemical properties, all depend on the temperature and the pressure. The thermophysical and thermodynamic properties include the density p, the molar volume V = M/p, the isothermal compressibility/ct = P (dp/d P)t = —V (dV/dP)T, the isobaric expansibility ap = —p dp/dT)p = V dV/dT)p, the saturation vapour pressure p, the molar enthalpy of vapourization Ayf7, the isobaric molar heat capacity Cp, the Hildebrand solubility parameter 3h = [(Ay// —RT)/ the surface tension y, the dynamic viscosity rj, the relative permittivity Sr, the refractive index (at the sodium D-line) and the self-diffusion coefficient T>. These are shown...
