    Steam Table
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the difficulty of finding a steam table for n-pentane, iso-pentane, or pentane. Users suggest that searching for "n-pentane thermodynamic properties" yields better results, including T-s diagrams and phase diagrams. Tools like CoolProp, an open-source alternative to REFPROP, are recommended for computational thermodynamics. Additionally, references to engineering literature, such as Reynolds & Colonna's book on thermodynamics, are provided for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams
  • Familiarity with CoolProp and REFPROP for computational thermodynamics
  • Knowledge of process simulation tools like Pro II, Hysim, and Aspen Suite
  • Basic concepts of organic Rankine cycles (ORCs)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "CoolProp fluid properties for n-pentane"
  • Explore "REFPROP thermodynamic data for hydrocarbons"
  • Study "T-s diagrams and phase diagrams for organic fluids"
  • Investigate "process simulation software for thermodynamic analysis"
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students in thermodynamics, particularly those working with hydrocarbons and organic Rankine cycles, will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
I was searching long and wide for a steam table for an R601(n-pentane) for the ORC cycle, I need help finding a detailed table.
hey, I was searching for a steam table for a long time but I wasn't lucky, I don't know why an n-pentane, iso-pentane or even pentane table is hard to find , so I am here today asking for a steam table for n-pentane or pentane table, forgive me if I was asking too much, Thank you very much you all.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I found T-s diagrams, phase diagrams, and other properties using search term n-pentane thermodynamic properties. I also searched R601 refrigerant thermodynamic properties, but that did not find much. If you used steam in your search, it probably found information about water because steam generally refers to water in the gaseous state.

Sample T-s diagram from above search:

yeah I don't know why n-pentane (R601) is hard to find, is there a secret they don't want us to know about it's weird, Also thank you very much for your help, I may use this diagram if I didn't find anything new, thank you again
 
By the way, there is also a figure in Reynolds & Colonna's book Thermodynamics, and some more references to other codes to produce these figures. The book also talks a little about ORCs, it's a very nice engineering book on thermodynamics.
 
Good Night

Any process simulator will give you the data for C5+ that you need.
Pro II, Hysim, Aspen Suite ect
