TOLUENE

 

TOLUENE provides high accuracy thermodynamic properties for toluene (methyl benzene, Molar mass =92.138 g/mole) using the Fundamental Equation of State, as described by Reiner Tillner-Roth, "Fundamental Equations of State", Shaker, Verlag, Aachan, 1998.  The correlation is based on data from:

 

Lemmon, E.W. and Span, R., "Short Fundamental Equations of State for 20 Industrial Fluids"

submitted to J. Chem. Eng. Data, 2004, currently in review.  

 

 

Reference State 

    h = 0 kJ/kg, s = 0 kJ/kg-K for saturated liquid at the normal boiling point of 383.75 K.  The reference state can be changed using the $Reference directive.

 

Range of applicability for equation of state:

   178 K < T < 700 K

 0 < P < 500 MPa

 

Transport properties are provided using correlations given in:

Yaws, Carl L., ed. Chemical Properties Handbook. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1999. 

 

Surface tension data are provided using the information in:

Mulero, A., Cachadina, I, and Parra, M.

"Recommended Correlations for the Surface Tension of Common Fluids"

J.Phys. Chem Ref. Data, Vol. 41, No.4, 2012

 

The melting pressure curve (valid for temperatures between the triple point temperature and 465 K) is determined from:
