Abstract
Original experimental values on the thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of pure and mixed fluids are reported in the world's journals. The large-scale databases, which compile these primary data are being developed, for example, by TRC/NIST (USA) and DECHEMA (Germany), provide printed collections of data tables and/or on-line access. Our working group has designed a database focused on the state behavior organic liquids (pressure-volume-temperature; PVT relationship, volumetric coefficients, speed of sound). The nearly ten years lasting project resulted in the compilation and evaluation of published experimental PVT data of pure organic liquids. The results for 315 substances are reviewed in the Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data.
