THE THERMODYNAMICS OF THE POLYSTYRENE-HYDROCARBON VAPOR SYSTEM
Abstract
A study was conducted on the thermodynamic properties of polystyrene over a range of temperatures up to 6000 K and pressures up to 10 to the 6th power atmospheres. Two sets of equilibrium composition equations are used; one representing a pure gas phase, the other a heterogeneous system of gas and solid carbon. The gas phase of the heterogeneous chemical system, like the homogeneous gas phase, comprises 70 gaseous carbon and hydrocarbon species. The results of the computational program are presented in both tabular and graphic form. The latter is a conventional Mollier diagram in which specific enthalpy is plotted against specific entropy, with cross plots of temperature, pressure, and molecular weight.
