Abstract
The development of the MIDAS Data-Bank System from its origin as part of the first DECHEMA properties data project in 1977 is described. The system concentrates the rapidly increasing amount of data for the viscosity and thermal conductivity for pure fluids and fluid mixtures by evaluation of the most reliable data sets. The data sets are represented by density-temperature correlations which are the customary method to correlate transport properties. To allow for a direct calculation of the transport properties from given pressures and temperatures, a new type of equation has been developed. As an example, the simultaneous representation of the viscosity and thermal conductivity of oxygen by one transport equation of state is discussed.
