Abstrakt

The lecture defines the problems which are encountered in the creation of data banks for use in computer-aided design in modern industry. In addition to the obvious requirements of accuracy, the lecture discusses the problem of internal and external consistency and places great emphasis on the less quantifiable characteristics which good data must possess, notably reliability.
The lecture briefly characterizes the degree of accuracy with which it is necessary to know the transport properties of fluids in order to design heat-transfer equipment with success.
The second part of the lecture describes the extended law of corresponding states for gases, emphasizing its roots in statistical thermodynamics. Taking low-density noble gases and their mixtures as one extreme, the lecture analyzes the progress that has been made during the last twenty-five years from the point of view of calculation.
Extensions of the extended law of corresponding states to higher densities and more complex molecules are mentioned at the end.
