Estimation of Physical Properties

• Experimentally measured values of physical properties should be used.

• If values are not available in the experimental literature and time and/or facilities are not
available for the experimental measurement, then estimations can be made. Measuring
physical properties also needs money and expertise.

• Estimation can be carried out in commercial process simulators such as Aspen HYSYS,
ChemCad, Pro II, etc.
