Tóm tắt

An empirical equation is given for the isothermal variation with density of the work content of pure hydrocarbons in the gaseous or liquid state. From this fundamental equation are derived (a) an equation of state, (b) an equation for the fugacity, and (c) an equation for the isothermal variation of the enthalpy. These equations summarize P-V-T properties of the gaseous or liquid phase, critical properties, vapor pressures, and latent heats of evaporation. A procedure is suggested for determining numerical values of the parameters in the equation. Such values are given for methane, ethane, propane, and n-butane. A comparison is made between observed properties of these hydrocarbons and those predicted by the equations.
