TransP calculates the thermal conductivity, viscosity and density
of liquid hydrocarbons (C1-C16), alcohols (C1-C10), refrigerants (old & new) and other liquids
as well as of mixtures of hydrocarbons or alcohols
at pressures up to 1000 Atmospheres.

Its uncertainty is, 5% for the thermal conductivity and viscosity and 0.2% for the density.

A lot of work is carried out in correlating transport properties of liquids. During the last two decades an in cooperation with Prof. J.H. Dymond (Glasgow University, UK) a scheme based upon hard-sphere considerations has successfully been applied to the correlation and prediction of the viscosity, thermal conductivity of pure liquids under pressure. The scheme has succesfully been expanded to the prediction of the transport properties of mixtures of homologous series, as well as for the prediction of the viscosity of supercritical fluids and mixtures. The resulting equations have been incorporated in the computer package TransP.
In the Dymond-Assael hard sphere scheme employed for the prediction of the transport properties of liquids, it is imperative to employ very accurate values of the density, as the scheme is very sensitive to them. In measurements also, especially in the liquid viscosity ones, good density values are required.

Density values have thus been collected and corelated (usually in a Tait-type equation), for the hydrocarbons, the alcohols and the refrigerants.
