I'm looking for a phase chart that shows temp as a function of pressure, for an 80%N2/20%O2 mixture of liquid air.
 
For $200 you can purchase a database from National Institute of Standards and Technology that includes air and may other components. Take a look at
If you can be more specific about the temperature, pressure, and quality ranges you're looking at, I could probably get you some data.

Tango, this would be for a liquid air mix of O2 20%, N2 80%, with a pressure range, 5 to 25 psig. For instance, at a saturation press of 5 psi, what would be the temp? What would be the respective temperatures for pressure saturations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 psig respectively?
 
For Liquid Air (N2 0.7812, O2 0.2096, Ar 0.0092 mol%), you'd have:
Vapor Phase Vapor Phase
Pressure Temperature
(psia) (°F)
5.0000 -332.72
10.000 -323.45
15.000 -317.32
20.000 -312.60
25.000 -308.69
30.000 -305.34
35.000 -302.38
40.000 -299.72
55.000 -292.99

Depending on the accuracy you want, your 80/20 mol% mixture is:
Vapor Phase Vapor Phase
Pressure Temperature
(psia) (°F)
5.0000 -332.92
10.000 -323.68
15.000 -317.56
20.000 -312.85
25.000 -308.96
30.000 -305.62
35.000 -302.67
40.000 -300.01
45.000 -297.59
50.000 -295.37
55.000 -293.30

Perfect! Would you mind doing the same calculations for LN2?
Thanks!
 
LN2 Saturation:

Pressure Temperature
(psia) (°F)
5.0000 -335.02
10.000 -326.05
15.000 -320.12
20.000 -315.55
25.000 -311.78
30.000 -308.53
35.000 -305.67
40.000 -303.10
45.000 -300.76
50.000 -298.60
55.000 -296.60

Reference is "NIST Standard Reference Database 23, Version 7.0".
