How to interpret the data in CO2TAB file

I am trying to model temperature perturbation during CO2 injection in saline aquifer using TOUGH3/ECO2N. My INFILE is modified after the INFILE of "rcc3" sample case. I have to provide the enthalpy of the injected CO2 in GENER data block. I opened CO2TAB to get the enthalpy of CO2 at the injection conditions, however, I couldn't interpret the input data in CO2TAB file.  Can anyone help me interpret the data in this file (i.e. How can I read CO2 density, viscosity, and enthalpy at any pressure and temperature?)

    CO2TAB is a look-up table providing in the sequence: pressure, temperature, viscosity, density and enthalpy with multiple entries. It is best to write a code and read the numbers. However, it is much easier if you check somewhere else, for example, NIST webbook is a good resource: https://webbook.nist.gov/

      Hi Yingqi Zhang,

      I want to simulate CO2 injection at constant temperature by setting an infinite density to the injection well. However I don't know how to calculate the enthalpy of injected CO2. I think I can use the temperature and pressure recorded in the FOFT file to calculate the enthalpy by looking up a table, such as the NIST webbook. But the reference state parameters for CO2 are unknown. Do you know the reference state in eco2n?

    Note that rcc3 sample problem is running isothermally. Don't forget to modify the second parameter NEQ in block MULTI to disable the isothermal option:

    MULTI----1----*----2----*----3----*----4----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8
