Calorimetric Measurement of Latent Heats of Vaporization of Propane and Normal Pentane and Some Thermodynamic Properties of Normal Pentane

Year: 2024

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Measurements of the latent heat of vaporization of propane and normal pentane were made with an adiabatic bomb calorimeter. The temperature range for propane was from 103.4° F. to 163.2° F. Normal pentane measurements were from 103.7 to 200° Fahrenheit. A description of the apparatus and the method of calculation will be found in part 1 of this paper. In the second section of this paper some of the thermodynamic properties of n-pentane in the superheated gas region were calculated. Included in this section are tabulated values of entropy, enthalpy, residual volume, and heat capacity.
