FAQ

  1. 1
    What is the source of data used to create these figures?

    Span & Wagner’s Fundamental Equation of State (FEOS) has been used for all figures (Span, R.; Wagner, W. 1996. A new equation of state for carbon dioxide covering the fluid region from the triple-point temperature to 1100 K at pressures up to 800 MPa. Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, 25: 1509–1596).

    Solubility graphs rely on measured solubility data that has been fitted by Chrastil's model (binary systems) and Mendez-Santiago Teja's model (ternary systems with cosolvents).

    How can I get customized figures?

    Customized figures are available upon request.  A small number of different fonts, colours etc. can be readily provided.  More significant modifications are possible – ask and we will see what we can do for you.  Some custom options may be freely provided whereas others may require a negotiated fee.  Contact us through the form below. 

  3. 3
    How should I reference a downloaded figure?

    Under CC BY-ND 4.0, you are required to provide attribution to SCFCan in relation to any of your uses.  You do not have copyright and you may not transfer copyright.  Appropriate attribution is:

  4. 4
    How were these figures created?

    These figures are created in Matlab©.

  5. 5
    What is the format of the download?

    The downloaded file has a tiff format.

  6. 6
    Are thermodynamic figures for other fluids available?

    Yes.  Query under the custom contact request.

  7. 7
    Are solubility graphs available for other solutes?

    Yes.  We can create from our existing database of solutes or we can create from your solubility data.  Query under the custom contact request.
