Thermodynamic Properties of Organic Compounds and Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids.

Abstract

In search for molecular structures that contain higher energies than normal jet fuel liquids, nine compounds were measured by combustion calorimetry to obtain their enthalpies of combustion in the liquid state at 25C. These results show 6.0 to 24.4 percent higher heats per unit volume than a better-than-average hydrocarbon jet fuel. New measurements on the vapor heat capacity, enthalpy of vaporization, and vapor pressure of 1,3-epoxypropane (trimethylene oxide) complete a comprehensive experimental thermodynamic investigation of a small ring molecule that has high ring strain energy.
