Alternative Fundamental Equation of State for Fluid Carbon Dioxide

February 2, 2026
Author(s)
Eric Lemmon, Allan Harvey, Robert Hellmann
We present a new fundamental equation of state for fluid carbon dioxide, which is an alternative to the current reference formulation published by Span and Wagner in 1996. The equation of state is formulated as the Helmholtz energy as a function of

Refrigerant Properties Development R&D: Final Report to U.S. Department of Energy on Interagency Agreements 892434-19-S-EE000031 and 892434-23-S-EE000120

Mark McLinden, Katrina Avery, Ala Bazyleva, Ian Bell, Tara Fortin, Marcia Huber, Andrei Kazakov, Eric Lemmon, Stephanie Outcalt, Richard Perkins, Elizabeth Rasmussen, Demian Riccardi, Aaron Rowane
The HVAC&R industry is facing the challenge of phasing down the use of the HFC (hydrofluoro-carbon) refrigerants. New energy-efficient refrigerants are required, and accurate property data for them are needed to design and operate new HVAC equipment using

A Helmholtz Energy Equation of State for 3,3,3-Trifluoroprop-1-ene (R-1243zf)

January 15, 2025
Author(s)
Ryo Akasaka, Eric Lemmon
A new fundamental equation of state expressed as a function of the Helmholtz energy is presented for 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (R-1243zf). The equation is valid from the triple point temperature (122.35 K) to 430 K at pressures up to 35 MPa. The expected

EOS-CG-2021: A Mixture Model for the Calculation of Thermodynamic Properties of CCS Mixtures

November 16, 2023
Author(s)
Tobias Neumann, Stefan Herrig, Ian Bell, Robin Beckmuller, Eric W. Lemmon, Monika Thol, Roland Span
Thermodynamic properties for CCS-relevant mixtures can be calculated with the fundamental equation of state presented in this work over wide ranges of pressure, temperature, and composition for gas, liquid, and supercritical states, as well as phase

New Equation of State Constraints in the Critical Region

October 17, 2023
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Eric W. Lemmon
In this work, two classes of defects with multiparameter equations of state are investigated. In the first, it is shown that the critical point provided by equation of state developers often does not exactly meet the criticality conditions based on the

Fundamental Equation of State for Fluid Tetrahydrofuran

October 9, 2023
Author(s)
Felix Fiedler, Joel Karog, Eric W. Lemmon, Monika Thol
An empirical equation of state in terms of the Helmholtz energy for tetrahydro- furan is presented. In the validity range from the triple-point temperature up to 550 K and pressures up to 600 MPa, the equation of state enables the calculation of all

An Equation of State for the Thermodynamic Properties of Helium

August 10, 2023
Author(s)
Diego Ortiz Vega, Kenneth Hall, James Holste, Allan H. Harvey, Eric W. Lemmon
This report documents the equation of state for fluid helium implemented in Version 10 of NIST's REFPROP Standard Reference Database. The equation of state is expressed as the molar Helmholtz energy as a function of temperature and density, and is valid

Equations of State for n-Hexadecane and n-Docosane

August 5, 2022
Author(s)
Raffaela Romeo, Eric W. Lemmon
Equations of state for n-hexadecane (C16H34) and n-docosane (C22H46) have been developed as functions of the Helmholtz energy with independent variables of temperature and density. The equations were developed based on experimental values of density, speed

New Reference Equation of State for Carbon Dioxide

May 6, 2022
Author(s)
Allan Harvey, Eric Lemmon
For carbon dioxide, the current reference for thermodynamic properties is the equation of state (EOS) of Span and Wagner published in 1996. While the Span-Wagner EOS provides accurate properties at most conditions of industrial interest, some deficiencies

A Fundamental Equation of State for Vinyl Chloride

January 10, 2022
Author(s)
Monika Thol, Florian Fenkl, Eric W. Lemmon
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
