A GENERAL EQUATION FOR CORRELATING THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF N-PARAFFINS, N-OLEFINS, AND OTHER HOMOLOGOUS SERIES .3. ASYMPTOTIC-BEHAVIOR CORRELATIONS FOR THERMAL AND TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES

In this final paper of the series, asymptotic behavior correlations (A BCs) are presented for thermal properties (ideal-gas enthalpy and free energy of formation, ideal-gas heat capacity, enthalpy of vaporizatio n, and liquid heat capacity) and for transport properties (liquid visc osity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension). The theoretical bas is for asymptotic behavior of these properties is discussed. The corre lations were developed using literature data for n-paraffins and n-ole fins (1-alkenes) and give accurate and consistent predictions. They ar e preferable to existing correlations in most instances. For specific heat, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension, comparison s are made with high molecular weight, linear polyethylenes and other long-chain molecules.
