Abstract:

A reporting of the experimental results for sodium saturation and superheat properties of the vapor, density and specific heat of the liquid is presented together with a thermodynamic treatment of the data. Two equations of state are advanced, one virial and one quasi-chemical and additional saturation and superheat properties of the vapor are derived from these equations. Either of two paths can be used to compute thermodynamic properties, the monomeric gas path or the liquid path but results obtained by the former procedure are believed to be more accurate. Enthalpy, entropy, specific volume, specific heat, and compositional information weight fraction of dimer, weight fraction of tetramer, and average molecular weight are tabulated for some 700 selected vapor states in the temperature range from 1625 to 2575 F and in the pressure range from 0.2 to 25 atm.
