Ideal Gas Molar Heat Capacity (Constant Pressure)

Properties of Gases and Liquids uses the following correlation for the ideal gas molar heat capacity:

\[\frac{c_{\text{p ig}}}{R} = a0 + a1 \times T + a2 \times T^2 + a3 \times T^3 + a4 \times T^4\]

\(R\)	gas_constant	Same as heat capacity	Universal gas constant

Ideal Gas Molar Enthalpy

The correlation for the ideal gas molar enthalpy is derived from the correlation for the molar heat capacity and is given below:

\[\frac{h_{\text{ig}} - h_{\text{ig ref}}}{R} = a0 \times (T-T_{ref}) + \frac{a1}{2} \times (T^2 - T_{ref}^2) + \frac{a2}{3} \times (T^3 - T_{ref}^3) + \frac{a3}{4} \times (T^4 - T_{ref}^4) + \frac{a4}{5} \times (T^5 - T_{ref}^5) + \Delta h_{\text{form, Vap}}\]

Parameters

\(a1\)	cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_a1	\(\text{K}^-1\)
\(a2\)	cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_a2	\(\text{K}^-2\)
\(a3\)	cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_a3	\(\text{K}^-3\)
\(a4\)	cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_a4	\(\text{K}^-4\)
\(\Delta h_{\text{form, Vap}}\)	enth_mol_form_vap_comp_ref	\(\text{J/mol}\)	Molar heat of formation at reference state

Note

This correlation uses the same parameters as the ideal gas heat capacity correlation.

Ideal Gas Molar Entropy

The correlation for the ideal gas molar entropy is derived from the correlation for the molar heat capacity and is given below:

\[\frac{s_{\text{ig}}}{R}= a0 \times ln(T/T_{ref}) + a1 \times (T - T_{ref}) + \frac{a2}{2} \times (T^2 - T_{ref}^2) + \frac{a3}{3} \times (T^3 - T_{ref}^3) + \frac{a4}{4} \times (T^4 - T_{ref}^4) + s_{\text{form, Vap}}\]

Parameters

\(a0\)	cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_a0	None
\(a1\)	cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_a1	\(\text{K}^-1\)

\(s_{\text{form, Vap}}\)	entr_mol_form_vap_comp_ref	\(\text{J/mol}\cdotp\text{K}\)	Standard molar entropy of formation at reference state

Note

This correlation uses the same parameters as the ideal gas heat capacity correlation.

Saturation (Vapor) Pressure

Properties of Gases and Liquids 5th edition uses the following correlation to calculate the vapor pressure of a component:

\[Log{(P_{sat}) = A - \frac{B}{T+C}}\]

Units are bar and Kelvin.
