The Critical Constants of Propane

Abstract: The critical constants of propane (C3H8) are: tc = 96.81±0.01°C, pc = 42.01±0.02 normal atmospheres, vc = 0.195 liter per mole (4.43 cc per gram), dc = 5.13 moles per liter (0.226 gram per cc). The uncertainty in the critical volume and density is 1 percent.

“…The curves presented, except that for 220" F., were extrapolated to vapor pressure. The data obtained by Beattie (1) and co-workers were used to establish the critical pressure and temperature for this material. This large effect of pressure overshadows the smaller changes in viscosity with temperature that occur a t atmospheric pressure.…”

“…The early work of Dana et al (3) was followed by some additional calorimetric measurements of the latent heat of vaporization of this hydrocarbon (6). The volumetric behavior of the compound and the vapor pressure have been studied by several investigators (1,2,5,8,9). There existed discrepancies of the order of 5 B.t.u.…”

“…To illustrate the quantitative nature of the disagreement of the several sets of data, residual values of the latent heat of vaporization have been calculated, using Equation 1 as a reference value. The residual latent heat of vaporization is defined as l = lrl, (2) and is shown as a function of temperature for each of the experimental points employed in obtaining the points shown in Figure 2. The range of temperatures, the standard error of estimate, and average error are reported in Table II for each set of data from the values obtained from Equation 1.…”

“…The critical parameters were determined by the image analysis [3] of the critical opalescence. Comparisons of the critical parameters with values given in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] are also reported.…”
