Lydersen method

The Lydersen method is a group contribution method for the estimation of critical properties temperature (T c ), pressure (P c ) and volume (V c ). The method is named after Aksel Lydersen who published it in 1955. The Lydersen method is the prototype for and ancestor of many new models like Joback, Klincewicz, Ambrose, Gani-Constantinou and others. The Lydersen method is based in case of the critical temperature on the Guldberg rule which establishes a relation between the normal boiling point and the critical temperature.
