SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating Enthalpy, Entropy, and Chemical Potential for nitrogen (N2) during an isothermal transition at 700K, with pressures of 1 bar and 100 bar. Participants emphasize that the only available data is specific heat capacity (Cp) values, and they are restricted from using equations of state like Benedict-Webb-Rubin or Beattie-Bridgeman. The equation provided, R*T (a + b v^-1 + c v^-2 + d v^-3), is highlighted as a potential method for deriving the necessary thermodynamic properties, although its application remains unclear to some users.
