Calculation of the vaporization enthalpy of nonpolar fluids at the standard temperature
Different analytical models were used to calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of nonpolar fluids at the standard temperature of 298.15 K. The models considered were some general classical expressions, three group contribution models that allow the property to be calculated at any temperature, another group contribution model specifically designed for calculations at the standard temperature, and finally a molecular model proposed by our research group. The results for 42 nonpolar fluids are compared with the value obtained in the correlation proposed in the DIPPR project.
