Thermodynamic properties of supercritical fluids and their mixtures at very high pressures

Abstract

Abstract Experimental and estimated PVT data for simple fluids at very high pressures have been correlated with corresponding states theory. Generalized tables and charts are given for density, enthalpy, fugacity, and internal energy for the reduced temperature range 1 to 50 and for reduced pressures to 2000. Consideration is given to possible solidification at very high pressures and to applicability of the reduced charts to quantum fluids, water and ammonia, through temperature‐dependent effective critical constants. The van der Waals two‐fluid model of binary mixtures is used to calculated properties of mixtures including the composition of coexisting phases. The correlations presented here are useful for estimating thermodynamic properties at very high pressures.
