111.46200.Scott D.W., 1974Recommended values were obtained from the consistent correlation scheme for alkanes [ Scott D.W., 1974, 2, Scott D.W., 1974]. This approach gives a good agreement with experimental data available for alkanes. Results of statistical thermodynamics calculation for 2,2,3-trimethylbutane [ Scott D.W., 1953] also agree well with experimental data at low temperatures. However, the values of S and Cp at 1500 K are 15 and 33 J/mol*K below than those given by [ Scott D.W., 1974].; GT
