Thermodynamic Properties of Solid Neon from a Helmholtz Energy Equation of State up to 328 K and 5800 MPa
摘要
Thermodynamic property data for solid neon have been analyzed to construct a new fundamental equation of state (EOS) expressed in terms of the Helmholtz energy. The formulation follows the quasi-harmonic Debye–Grüneisen framework and adopts the same Helmholtz energy structure as that used for solid argon, consistent with the general strategy previously developed for solid CO2, benzene, and argon. The solid EOS is thermodynamically coupled to a reference fluid EOS along the sublimation and melting curves, enabling consistent calculations of solid–fluid phase equilibrium as well as single-phase solid properties up to 328 K and 5800 MPa. Model parameters were obtained by regression to a comprehensive literature dataset including cell volume, isobaric heat capacity, thermal expansivity, isothermal and isentropic bulk modulus, phase-equilibrium pressure, and phase-transition enthalpy. Within its intended range of application, the EOS reproduces fitted molar volumes typically within about 0.1 % along the sublimation curve and 0.5 % along both the melting curve and in the compressed solid. Heat capacity and thermal expansivity are represented with uncertainties of approximately 3 % to 10 % depending on temperature. Isothermal and isentropic bulk modulus are described to within about 3 % and 4 %, respectively, while sublimation and melting pressures are represented within approximately 2 % and 5 %. Overall, the new Helmholtz energy EOS provides a compact and internally consistent representation of solid neon thermodynamic properties suitable for cryogenic and high-pressure applications.
