Physical Properties
All equations in this work result in a International System Unit (S.I.) which
means [p] = P a, [] = kg/m3 , [] = P a.s, [ ] = N/m and [T ] = K
1.2.1
Vapor Pressure
The Equation 1.1 is represented in Figure 1.1 and has a uncertainty of 1% for
temperatures of 273 400K, 0.15% for the intermediate temperature region
from 400K to the normal boiling point at 629.77K and 0.5% for temperatures
above the normal boiling point but below 900K [2]

1.2.2
Vapor Density
Some vapor can be describe as a ideal gas. Mercury is one of them [2] and
Figure 1.2 provides experimental data [3] and ideal gas equation 1.4.
1.2.3
Vapor Viscosity
Tabulated values and Equation 1.5 [4] are given in Figure 1.3. The Equation
1.5 has accuracy of 1.7%.

1.2.6
Surface Tension
As can be seen in Figure 1.6 experimental data [1] present higher value than
Equation 1.8 propose for National Physical Laboratory, London UK [5] and
values present in chart by Chi [6].
