P-ρ-T Data of Liquids:  Summarization and Evaluation. 6. Nonaromatic Hydrocarbons (Cn, n ≥ 5) except n-Alkanes C₅ to C₁₆

The published experimental data for 56 hydrocarbons (22 alkanes, 11 alkenes, 20 cycloalkanes, and 3 cycloalkenes) are summarized and reviewed, and the parameters of the Tait equation are given. This equation allows the calculation of smoothed values of either the volume ratio V ( P )/ V ( P ref ) and related properties (relative density ρ( P )/ρ( P ref ) and compression {1 − ρ( P ref )/ρ( P )}) or, using density data at atmospheric pressure ( P ref = 0.1 MPa) or at saturation ( P ref = P sat ), the liquid density of the substances over a temperature and pressure range. A comparison of isothermal compressibilities calculated from the Tait equation with available data at P = 0.1 MPa from the literature is also presented.
