Selecting the Right Thermodynamic Model
Which thermodynamic model is the most appropriate depends on a number of things, for example the nature of the properties to be used, the operational pressure and temperature, and not least the availability of the required model parameters. One general introduction to how to select thermodynamic models, as well as estimating missing parameters and validating properties can be found in
Ref. 77
.
Below is a decision tree that can be used as a guide for choosing the thermodynamic model:
