TL;DR: Optimized intermolecular potential functions have been determined for hydrocarbons through Monte Carlo simulations of 15 liquids: methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, isobutane, NOPANE, isopentane, NEOPENTANE, cyclopentANE, N-hexane, 1-butene, cis-and trans-2-butenes, and benzene as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Optimized intermolecular potential functions have been determined for hydrocarbons through Monte Carlo simulations of 15 liquids: methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, isobutane, n-pentane, isopentane, neopentane, cyclopentane, n-hexane, 1-butene, cis- and trans-2-butene, isobutene, and benzene. To achieve high accuracy, 12 unique group types were identified and their associated Lennard-Jones parameters were established. The average deviation from experiment for the computed densities and heats of vaporization is 2% and trends for isomeric series are reproduced. Conformation results were also obtained for five liquids and revealed no condensed-phase effects on the conformer populations. Structural analyses focus on trends as a function of chain length and branching of the monomers.

TL;DR: A new equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of natural gases, similar gases, and other mixtures, the GERG-2008, was presented in this paper, which is based on 21 natural gas components.
Abstract: A new equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of natural gases, similar gases, and other mixtures, the GERG-2008 equation of state, is presented in this work. This equation is an expanded version of the GERG-2004 equation. GERG-2008 is explicit in the Helmholtz free energy as a function of density, temperature, and composition. The equation is based on 21 natural gas components: methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ethane, propane, n-butane, isobutane, n-pentane, isopentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, water, hydrogen sulfide, helium, and argon. Over the entire composition range, GERG-2008 covers the gas phase, liquid phase, supercritical region, and vapor–liquid equilibrium states for mixtures of these components. The normal range of validity of GERG-2008 includes temperatures from (90 to 450) K and pressures up to 35 MPa where the most accurate experimental data of the thermal and caloric properties are represented to within their accura...

TL;DR: In this article, a table of thermodynamic and transport properties of butane, including pressure, density, temperature, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, specific heat at constant pressure and at constant volume, sound speed, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and dielectric constant.
Abstract: Tables of methane, ethane, propane, isobutane, and normal butane thermodynamic and transport properties are presented. The mathematical relations from which these thermophysical properties are obtained are described. The tables list pressure, density, temperature, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, specific heat at constant pressure and at constant volume, sound speed, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and dielectric constant.
