Abstract

This note points out errors in the values of the third virial coefficients for pure water vapor which appeared in a 1967 paper by Hyland and Mason. The errors arose while converting from the units of Goff and of Keyes to the desired units of (liter/mole)². The consequences of the errors are outlined, and it is shown that there is no effect on the primary results of the paper, namely, in the preferred values of the third interaction virial coefficient for air-water vapor mixtures, C _aww .

Keywords: Chemical association; Lennard-Jones potential parameters; third interaction virial coefficients; virial coefficients; water vapor-air mixtures.
