Volume 49, Issue 2 Fragment-Based Approach for Estimating Thermophysical Properties of Fats and Vegetable Oils for Modeling Biodiesel Production Processes. Li Zong, Sundaram Ramanathan, and Chau-Chyun Chen* Pages 879, 880, and 883. The A constant and the ∆Gθvap vap constant in Table 4 (page 879), the ∆Gθ,A constant in Table 6, and eq b in Table 5 (page 880), as previously published, are revised. The revision corrects an unfortunate mistake in our handling of pressure units. Also revised are the mole fractions of soybean oil in Table 11 (page 883). We have misread the soybean oil triglyceride composition data of Ndiaye et al.1 for PPP and SSS.
