Precise estimation of air properties as a function of temperature at 1 atm

David Fenderson  Follow

Here are some links that look like they might be useful, there seems to be promising information on some engineering resource sites:

The point that has been made about water vapor fluctuations is valid, but most calculations of air properties assume dry air with constant composition.

I have a similar table for air properties at 1 atm. I also found some other calculators, but calculating every values in a calculator is not very productive for my purposes, however, the "Appendix B" looks very promising - I will have to try the differences for values computed as a temperature function to those in the chart, if the correlation is satisfying, Im all settled :).More

A lot can be found at engineeringtoolbox , like air-prandtl-number-viscosity-heat-capacity-thermal-conductivity.

The data are ( at least mostly ) presented as combination of an online calculator, tabelated numerical values and charts, instead of specific empirical formulas. But it should not be a big deal to invent some interpolation or approximation formulas for those tabelated numerical values.

See also the Related documents section in the latter link, a chosen topics:

I know... it wont be horrible. In general, I was just very curious whether I missed any empirical equations, which would solve my problem most efficiently.More

But putting a table to Excel and processing some numerical analysis.... E.g. the obvious and trivial least square method for a polynomial or rational function via Excel Solver..... At least you know this is the last resort option if you do not find anything better.More

Thanks, as matter of fact, the engineeringtoolbox was the first thing I found, however, when I had to always fill out their calculator (which is great for its purpose), I realized that I need to put calculations to MS Excel, because it was very slow.More
