Thermochemical Data of Pure Substances


Book Description

Revised and updated (first edition, 1989), this thorough compilation presents the most comprehensive data-tables available to date for the thermodynamic properties of pure substances. The massive collection covers 2,400 pure substances, including 100 organic compounds as well as substances never before discussed in similar tables. The broad scope of thermochemical functions included ranges from heat capacity, entropy, and Gibbs energy function to enthalpy of formation and equilibrium constant of formation. The value of these functions is tabulated at intervals of 100 K, starting at room temperature, and going up to 5000 K. Combining all the well-established tabulations with a broad range of more recent publications, the compilation also introduces thermodynamics and describes the fundamental relations of chemical thermodynamics. Numerous examples illustrate the use of the tables. For metallurgical, ceramic, and chemical engineers. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR




Thermochemical Data of Pure Substances, Thermochemical Data of Pure Substances


Book Description

This is the revised, extended, up-to-date third edition of the acclaimed reference book 'Thermochemical Data of Pure Substances'. The introductory section discusses thermodynamic theory and applications concisely and explains how best to use the tables; it has also been expanded to refer to ores, coal, waste and residues. Researched and arranged with meticulous care, it contains comprehensive thermodynamic data tables for over 2500 pure substances in different phases, over 230 of which are organic. The renowned clarity of the tables and the wealth of valuable information contained therein guarantees the high standard of this celebrated work. 'This is undoubtedly one of the most extensive sets of data available, covering a remarkable number of compounds...listing values for all of the thermodynamic variables over the entire range of temperatures considered.' Faraday Transactions 'The introduction is intended as a support for those not well- versed in chemical thermodynamics, but, by providing worked examples, also helps those more adept to brush up forgotten basics.'

Rate Constant Calculation for Thermal Reactions


Book Description

Providing an overview of the latest computational approaches to estimate rate constants for thermal reactions, this book addresses the theories behind various first-principle and approximation methods that have emerged in the last twenty years with validation examples. It presents in-depth applications of those theories to a wide range of basic and applied research areas. When doing modeling and simulation of chemical reactions (as in many other cases), one often has to compromise between higher-accuracy/higher-precision approaches (which are usually time-consuming) and approximate/lower-precision approaches (which often has the advantage of speed in providing results). This book covers both approaches. It is augmented by a wide-range of applications of the above methods to fuel combustion, unimolecular and bimolecular reactions, isomerization, polymerization, and to emission control of nitrogen oxides. An excellent resource for academics and industry members in physical chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields.




Strontium Aluminate


Book Description

Strontium aluminate cement is special inorganic cement with the properties which make it favorable for various special applications such as refractory products, macro defect free (MDF) composites, blended cements and expansive cements for high temperature applications. There is an immense number of possible combinations which can be made to prepare blended and multicomponent cements and to investigate the influence of substitutions on the properties of strontium aluminate. Divided into ten sections, this book provides the latest research achievements in many aspects of this binder. The manufacturing, the hydration process, the setting behavior and the properties are described. The book contains many original and firstly published experimental research results obtained during writing. Currently there is no comprehensive work on this topic in literature. From this point of view, the book is a pilot work on this topic and should attract the attention of researchers and bring further progress of this topic.
