We
investigate the isentropic index along the saturated vapor line
as a correlating parameter with quantities both in the saturated liquid
phase and the saturated vapor phase. The relation is established via
temperatures such as Thgmax and T* where the saturated vapor enthalpy and the product of
saturation temperature and saturated liquid density attain a maximum,
respectively. We obtain that the saturated vapor isentropic index
is correlated with these temperatures but also with the saturated
liquid Grüneisen parameters at Thgmax and T*.
