    newb question (pressure to boiling point?)



    hey, a few quick serches and I was unable to find what I was looking for (though I'm shure it's out there, and probably as soon as I post this I will find out myself.. but anyway's)

    how do you calculate that if Propane's boiling point is -40*C (i know it's not exact, but bare with me) how do I figure out how much pressure it needs to be under in order for the boiling point to raise one degree? how much for 5 degree's? ect. how do I calculate this?

    (if this question made sense..)

    Thanks in advance

    Nick, it is a good idea to have CoolPack on your computer.

    It contains all sorts of useful tables, charts, gizmos and load calcs and most importantly it is free.
