Reports Report Number: NASA-RP-1311 E-8017 NAS 1.61:1311 Authors:

Known limits of validity:
The data is valid for temperatures between 200 K and 6000 K. A few
of the data sets for monatomic gases have a discontinuous 1st
derivative at 1000 K, but this never caused problems so far.
This model has been copied from the ThermoFluid library. It has been developed by Hubertus Tummescheit.
