Abstract
A review of the current status of mathematical models and correlations for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of cryogenic fluids is presented. This review provides the practicing engineer and interested scientist with information on the thermodynamic properties of air, argon, carbon monoxide, deuterium, ethane, fluorine, helium, hydrogen, krypton, methane, neon, nitrogen, oxygen, parahydrogen and xenon. We have included the most accurate formulation for each fluid available at this time. We have referenced the original works that contain details of the mathematical models and correlation methods, and provide the user with sources of information about using the computer formulations for applications. We have included information about Internet access to computer programs for thermodynamic properties of the fluids. Estimates of the accuracies of properties calculated using the available computer models are also included.
