Ancillary routines are vapor pressure and saturated liquid and vapor densities are also provided in the above reference.   

 

The values of specific enthalpy and entropy are, by default,  referred to 200 kJ/kg and 1.00 kJ/kg-K, respectively for the state of saturated liquid at 273.15 K.  The reference state can be changed using the $Reference directive.

 

Range of applicability for transport function correlations:

Gas-phase viscosity:  200 K to 650 K

Liquid-phase viscosity: 170 K to 340 K

Gas-phase thermal conductivity: 200 K to 650 K

Liquid-phase thermal conductivity: 170 K to 340 K
