Book Description

Tables are presented based on the Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential for nonpolar molecules to be used in the representation of second and third virial coefficients and equation-of-state corrections for enthalpy, entropy, specific heats at constant volume and at constant pressure, the ratio of specific heats, the isentropic expansion coefficient, and the velocity of sound. The treatment for effects involving three molecules jointly uses an empirical adjustment of the Lennard-Jones force parameters within a cluster of three independently of the value for an isolated pair. A graphical correlation of ratios of these parameters with the critical constants is also shown which permits better estimates for compact nonpolar molecules with known critical constants but with limited data of state.
