Thermodynamic properties of ethane in the critical region

The thermodynamic properties of fluids are predicted using global equations of state. Among these thermodynamic properties, we consider the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, pressure, the caloric properties such as specific heat at constant volume and specific heat at constant pressure and the speed of sound. In the present work, we apply the crossover theory to these thermodynamic properties and give a comparison of the crossover model equation of state with the experimental thermodynamic property data of ethane.
