Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of hydrazine have been evaluated for the saturated region and for the superheated vapor. The superheated vapor properties were determined for temperatures up to 2200°F and pressures to 3000 psia. Enthalpy, entropy, and specific volume are reported for the saturated vapor and liquid and the superheated vapor. Results are reported in the form of tables.

Enthalpy values are relative to the saturated liquid at 32°F. Entropy values are absolute. The thermodynamic properties have been based on experimental data where possible. Due to the lack of experimental pressure-volume-temperature data, however, the generalized correlations of Lydersen, Greenkorn, and Hougen were used to evaluate specific volume and the enthalpy and entropy deviations from ideal gas behavior.

There is no evidence in the literature of the existence of tables or charts on the thermodynamic properties of hydrazine similar to those presented here.
