Abstract
A simple equation is presented for predicting the temperature dependence of the vapor-pressure of a pure substance along the entire (liquid + vapor) coexistence curve, from the triple point to the critical point. The proposed equation is based on the use of a dimensionless temperature reduced by using critical and triple point values, and of the Clausius–Clapeyron equation as a zeroth-order approximation. The pressure and temperature at the triple point, the normal boiling temperature, and the pressure and temperature at the critical point are required as input data. The proposed equation is verified for 53 fluids by using NIST data. These data are reproduced with an overall average deviation of 0.55%.
