We apply the crossover lattice equation of state (xLF ECS) [M.S. Shin, Y. Lee, H. Kim, J.Chem. Thermodyn. 40 (2007) 174-179] to the calculations of thermodynamic 2nd-order derivative properties (isochoric heat capacity, isobaric heat capacity, isothermal compressibility, thermal expansion coefficient, Joule-Thompson coefficient, and sound speed). This equation of state is used to calculate the same properties of pure systems (carbon dioxide, normal alkanes from methane to propane). We show that, over a wide range of states, the equation of state yields properties with better accuracy than the lattice equation of state (LF EOS), and near the critical region, represents singular behavior well.
