Properties of water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen ices in planetary surface environments

Abstract

Numerous investigations have measured and identified properties of water and exotic ices. These properties are measured at various pressures and temperatures; however, these disparate studies are sometimes difficult to find, confusing, or even contradictory. Here, we amass and present a catalogue of some temperature dependent equations on ice density, latent heat of fusion, constant values for latent heat of sublimation, specific heat capacity at constant pressure, thermal conductivity, and Arrhenius flow law parameters for water ice, carbon dioxide ice, and solid nitrogen. The equations are either directly cited from the sources or are fitted from data in past publications.
