Experimental density values from Pitzer et al, Thermodynamic properties of aqueous sodium chloride solution, Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, 13, 1-102 (1984)

Experimental viscosity values from Phillips et al, Viscosity of NaCl and other solutions up to 350C and 50MPa pressures, LBL-11586 (1980)

Thermal conductivity values from Ozbek and Phillips, Thermal conductivity of aqueous NaCl solutions from 20C to 330C, LBL-9086 (1980)

It is difficult to compare enthalpy and cp with experimental data, so instead we recreate the data presented in Figures 11 and 12 of Driesner, The system H2O-NaCl. Part II: Correlations for molar volume, enthalpy, and isobaric heat capacity from 0 to 1000 C, 1 to 500 bar, and 0 to 1 Xnacl, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 71, 4902-4919 (2007)
