  • Chapter
Gas Extraction

Part of the book series: Topics in Physical Chemistry ((TOPPHYSCHEM,volume 4))

Abstract

Within this chapter properties of compounds in the near critical and supercritical state, as well as mixtures of subcritical compounds in combination with supercritical components are treated. An overview on the dependence of properties on conditions of state, and some methods and correlations for calculating properties are presented. Among the properties treated are: Density (PVT behavior), viscosity, diffusion coefficient, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, surface tension and Joule-Thompson coefficient.
