The multipurpose instrument used for computation of thermophysical properties and production of self-consistent tables and Mollier charts

Abstract

Measurements on a test sample in gaseous and liquid state to observe p-V-T, dialelectric constant, thermal conductivity, vapor pressure, saturation densities, thermal-expansion coefficient, compressibility and specific heats are briefly described. A computer program is developed to utilize p-V-T, dielectric and conductivity data to determine virial coefficients and values of intermolecular force parameters. From these and the measured data many other properties may be computed by general thermodynamic relationships.
