Notes:
Generalized equations for vapor pressure and PVT behavior are used to develop a functional relationship between latent heat of vaporization and reduced temperature and pressure. This function leads to a graphical correlation which utilizes the slope M of the vapor-pressure curve at the critical point. The correlation gives the latent heat of vaporization at any temperature in the two-phase region for any substance for which the critical point and one vapor-pressure point are known. The correlation is particularly useful for prediction of latent heat of vaporization near the critical point by the use of information for removed from the critical. Included in the study are polar, nonpolar, organic, inorganic, and metallic substances. General predictions of latent heat as a function of temperature are within a few percent wherever comparisons can be made with experimental data.
