Abstract
A fundamental equation of state in terms of the Helmholtz energy is presented for vinyl chloride. Due to its fundamental nature, it can be used to consistently calculate all thermodynamic state properties in the fluid region. Based on the underlying experimental database, it is valid from the triple-point temperature 119.31 K to 430 K with a maximum pressure of 100 MPa. In addition to the accurate reproduction of experimental data, correct extrapolation behavior during the development of the equation was attained. This enables the equation to be applied in modern mixture frameworks.
