HYLIFE-II reactor uses molten salt Flibe as the liquid blanket material. The property of its gaseous state was poorly known for gas dynamics calculations and other design problems. This study presents two fitted equations of state of the Flibe gas to meet the needs. The fitted range covers both dissociation and ionization regions. The methods used for fitting allow good agreement between the calculated data and fitted equations.
