Reliable prediction of heat of vaporization of n-alkanes at 298.15 K

Abstract

A reliable model for the prediction of the heat of vaporization for n-alkanes at 298.15 K with the number of carbon atoms and normal boiling point as the only input parameters is recommended. The new model is compared with other literature models and was found to give the best results with absolute mean percentage deviation of 0.81 % and maximum absolute percentage deviation of 2.93 %.
