A FOUR-PARAMETER EXTENSION OF MODIFIED LEE-KESLER EQUATION OF STATE

A modified Lee-Kesler equation of state has been proposed to improve the accuracy for the subcooled and saturated liquid regions of normal fluids. It is further extended to polar fluids by the addition of a fourth parameter X. The extended equation has been found to be reliable over a wide vapor and liquid regions for polar fluids and it is easy for computer use. Fourteen kinds of normal fluids and twelve kinds of polar fluids have been tested. The total average absolute deviations for the normal fluids and polar fluids are 0.79% and 1.68% over the range of T_r = 0.3 to 4 and P_r - 0.01 to 10.
