Measurements of the Speed of Sound in Propene in the Liquid and Supercritical Regions
This paper reports comprehensive and accurate measurements of the speed of sound in pure propene in the liquid and supercritical regions. The data have been measured by a double-path-length pulse-echo technique and cover the temperature range from 240 K to 420 K with pressures up to 100 MPa. The measurement uncertainties amount to 3 mK for temperature, 0.01 % for pressures below 10 MPa, 0.005 % for pressures between 10 MPa and 100 MPa, and 0.015 % for speed of sound. The high accuracy of the measurements is demonstrated by comparisons with literature data and three fundamental equations of state.
