The NIST REFPROP software program is a powerful tool for calculating thermophysical properties of industrially important fluids, and this manuscript describes the models implemented in, and features of, this software. REFPROP implements the most accurate models available for selected pure fluids and their mixtures that are valid over the entire fluid range including gas, liquid, and supercritical states, with the goal of uncertainties approaching the level of the underlying experimental data. The equations of state for thermodynamic properties are primarily of the Helmholtz energy form; a variety of models are implemented for the transport properties. We document the models for the 147 fluids included in the current version. A graphical user interface generates tables and provides extensive plotting capabilities. Properties can also be accessed through third-party apps or user-written code via the core property subroutines compiled into a shared library. REFPROP disseminates international standards in both the natural gas and refrigeration industries, as well as standards for water/steam.

Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in the residual entropy scaling (RES) method have improved the modeling of transport properties, particularly in thermal conductivity of various fluids.
- A new RES model expands upon previous work by Yang et al., utilizing experimental data from the NIST ThermoData Engine to analyze 125 pure fluids and 164 mixtures, achieving high accuracy with over 68% of data matching within close ranges.
- The RES model showcases comparable performance to existing models in REFPROP 10.0 but uses fewer parameters, plus a Python software package is available for easy implementation of the model.
Calculating Thermodynamic Factors for Diffusion Using the Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo Method.

Thermodynamic factors for diffusion connect the Fick and Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients used to quantify mass transfer. Activity coefficient models or equations of state can be fitted to experimental or simulation data, from which thermodynamic factors can be obtained by differentiation. The accuracy of thermodynamic factors determined using indirect routes is dictated by the specific choice of an activity coefficient model or an equation of state.
