To popularize the application of n-pentene in industry

such as chemical simulation

process optimization

and properties research

the equation of state for n-pentene was developed based on a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal consistency and for agreement with theory in this work. The Helmholtz energy as the fundamental property with independent variables of density and temperature was used for the equation of state. The equation of state is valid from the triple-point temperature to 500 K

with pressures up to 100 MPa and densities up to 15 mol×dm-3. Overall

the uncertainties in density range of the equation of state are 0.2% in the liquid region and 0.5% in the critical and vapor region. The uncertainty is 0.3% for the vapor pressure and 0.2% for the saturated liquid density. The uncertainties in the properties related to energy (such as heat capacity

sound speed

enthalpy and so on) are estimated to be 1%. The behavior of the equation of state is reasonable within the region of validity and at higher and lower temperatures and pressures.
