Published: Oct 01, 1994.
Known limits of validity:
The data is valid for
temperatures between 200 K and 6000 K. A few of the data sets for
monatomic gases have a discontinuous 1st derivative at 1000 K, but
this never caused problems so far.
This model has been copied from the ThermoFluid library. It has been developed by Hubertus Tummescheit.
