Thermodynamic and transport properties of diesel fuel

  • Chapter
Multiphase Flow Dynamics 4

Abstract

This Chapter provides a review of the existing data on thermodynamic and transport properties of diesel fuel from 20 references. From the collected data a set of approximations is generated enabling the use of the available information in computer code models. The emphasis is on the strict consistency of the thermodynamic representations. Even being an approximation of the reality the generated correlations are mathematically consistent to each other. The generated saturation line is consistent with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, with the definition of the latent heat of evaporation and the other vapor properties. The collection of analytical equations approximating the collected data set can be applied for the liquid diesel fuel being stable or meta-stable, as well for the diesel fuel vapor being stable or meta-stable.
