Thermodynamic properties of ammonia

An analytic thermodynamic surface has been fitted to the experimental data for ammonia for the temperature range extending from the triple point to 750 kelvins and for the pressure range extending from the dilute gas to 500 MPa (5000 bar). Values for the thermodynamic properties are tabulated at closely spaced intervals. A major part of the correlation was devoted to a study of the extent to which thermodynamic inconsistencies degrade the accuracy of the derived properties. This study focused as much on methods for correlating the data as on the data themselves. As a consequence, we are able to assign close tolerances to the tabulated thermodynamic properties over the range of the surface, including properties for the coexisting phases and even close to the liquid‐vapor critical point.
