TAB II computer program provides values of thermodynamic and transport properties of hydrogen in useful format. Also, provides values for equilibrium hydrogen and para-hydrogen. Program fast, moderately accurate, and operates over wide ranges of input variables. Written in FORTRAN 77.
Tables of viscosity, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity of oxygen as a function of temperature and pressure from the triple point to 320 K and at pressures to 100 MPa are presented. Auxiliary tables in engineering units are also given. Viscosity and thermal conductivity are calculated from published correlations. Density and specific heat at constant pressure, required to calculate thermal diffusivity, are obtained from an equation of state. The Prandtl number can be obtained quite easily from the values tabulated.
The paper presents new experimental measurements of the thermal conductivity of oxygen for thirteen isotherms at temperatures from 78 to 310 K with pressures to 70 MPa and densities from 0 to 40 mol/L. The measurements were made with a transient hot wire apparatus and they cover a wide range of physical states including the dilute gas, the moderately dense gas, the near critical region, the compressed liquid states, and the vapor at temperatures below the critical temperature. The thermal conductivity surface is represented with an equation that is based in part on an existing correlation of the dilute gas. The date are compared with the experimental measurements of others through the new correlation. The new measurements show that the critical enhancement extends to quite high temperatures, about 300 K. The precision (2 sigma) of the oxygen of the oxygen measurements is between 0.5 and 0.8 percent for wire temperature transients of 4 to 5 K, while the accuracy is estimated to be 1.5 percent.
Data from the literature on the molar volume of solid oxygen have been compiled and critically analyzed. A correlated and thermodynamically consistent set of molar volumes, including the volume changes at the various solid phase transitions, is presented. Evidence for the existence of a delta-solid phase is reviewed. Uncertainties in the data and in the recommended set of values are discussed.
Information is presented on instrumentation for density measurement, liquid level measurement, quantity gauging, and phase measurement. Coverage of existing information directly concerned with oxygen was given primary emphasis. A description of the physical principle of measurement for each instrumentation type is included. The basic materials of construction are listed if available from the source document for each instrument discussed. Cleaning requirements, procedures, and verification techniques are included.
Handbook has been compiled by Cryogenic Data Center of National Bureau of Standards. It covers thermodynamic functions, physical properties, and heat transfer data for oxygen. Handbook addresses primarily low temperature regime, but also includes some data above room temperature.
The thermodynamic and transport properties of para and equilibrium hydrogen have been programmed into a series of computer routines. Input variables are the pair's pressure-temperature and pressure-enthalpy. The programs cover the range from 1 to 5000 psia with temperatures from the triple point to 6000 R or enthalpies from minus 130 BTU/lb to 25,000 BTU/lb. Output variables are enthalpy or temperature, density, entropy, thermal conductivity, viscosity, at constant volume, the heat capacity ratio, and a heat transfer parameter. Property values on the liquid and vapor boundaries are conveniently obtained through two small routines. The programs achieve high speed by using linear interpolation in a grid of precomputed points which define the surface of the property returned.
A handbook is presented of the thermodynamic functions, transport properties, and physical properties of both liquid and gaseous oxygen. A bibliography of references is included.
Normal and para-hydrogen conductivity measurements at temperatures from 200 to 17 deg K, at densities up to 2.6 times critical density, and at pressures to 15 MN/sq m are made. Using new calorimeter, data are analyzed as functions of density at fixed temperatures and of temperature at fixed densities
Integrated tables of pressure, volume, and temperature for the saturated liquid, from the triple point to the critical point of the gases, have been developed. Tables include definition of saturated liquid curve. Values are presented in metric and practical units. Advantages of the new tables are discussed.

Computer program subroutines provide the thermodynamic and transport properties of hydrogen in tabular form. The programs provide 18 combinations of input and output variables. This program is written in FORTRAN 4 for use on the IBM 7044 or CDC 3600 computers.
Six entropy diagrams for parahydrogen in or near the saturated liquid state cover the temperature range from 29.16 degrees to 42.48 degrees R with pressures to 100 psia and mixtures of the liquid and vapor phases to 0.003 quality. The diagrams are printed in color, are 19 by 30 inches in size, and are suitable for wall mounting.
