Carbon Dioxide Thermodynamic tables

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding equations and source code for the phase diagrams of carbon dioxide, specifically for liquid-gas equilibrium data, including enthalpy and internal energy. Michel mentions using EES and Refprop, citing a key reference by Span and Wagner for CO2 properties. He successfully found a solution using Propath, which is based on the Span and Wagner formulas, and implemented it in Excel/VBA. Michel expresses interest in obtaining source code in Java or C#, as he finds translating Fortran challenging. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible computational resources for thermodynamic properties of CO2.

Hello,

In my old papers, I could find a nice P-T diagram for Carbon Dioxide.
I am interrested in liquid-gas equilibrium data, specially enthalpy and internal enery.
Unfortunately, the diagram doesn't fit very well my current purpose.
Moreover, I would like to make more use of my computer and less use of my nice diagram.

Would you know where I could find the equations describing the CO2 phase diagrams,
specially the thermodynamic function for liquid-gas equilibrium?
As you may guess, a source code would be even more attractive (if for free).

Thanks a lot for you suggestions,

Michel

I usually use programs like EES or Refprop, but EES does cite it's source for CO2 properties:

R. Span and W. Wagner, A New Equation of State for Carbon Dioxide Covering the Fluid Region from the Triple-Point Temperature to 1100 K at Pressures up to 800 MPa, J. Phys. Chem, Ref. Data, Vol. 25, No. 6, 1996.
 
Thanks a lot, Yeti08 !

I could find your reference on Nist.
In addition, by googling further I could find "Propath" there:

http://www.fkm.utm.my/~mohsin/sme1413/property.tables/propath/

It is based on the Span and Wagner formulas.
It took me less than an hour to solve my problem in Excel/VBA, thanks to your initial reference.

By the way, are you using Propath, or another library or your own programming?
The Propath source code is in good old Fortran, which is not my preferred language any more.
I would be interrested in source code in Java or in C#.
Fortran to Java is not really an easy translation.
Would you eventually know where such source code would be available?

Thanks again,

Michel

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
