CRC Handbook of Applied Thermodynamics


Book Description

This practical handbook features an overview of the importance of physical properties and thermodynamics; and the use of thermo-dynamics to predict the extent of reaction in proposed new chem-ical combinations. The use of special types of data and pre-diction methods to develop flowsheets for probing projects; and sources of critically evaluated data, dividing the published works into three categories depending on quality are given. Methods of doing one's own critical evaluation of literature, a list of known North American contract experimentalists with the types of data mea-sured by each, methods for measuring equilibrium data, and ther-modynamic concepts to carry out process opti-mization are also featured.










Reporting Experimental Data


Book Description

For chemists and engineers who are writing results of quantitative measurements of physical or chemical properties of substances for publication, this volume gives guidelines on how to present the measured data. Following an introduction and a section that details what constitutes an adequate description, further sections are devoted to specific categories of measurements: thermodynamics, including biothermodynamics; chemical kinetics and transport properties; electrochemistry; colloid and surface chemistry; photochemistry; analytical chemistry; crystallography and electron diffraction; and spectroscopies. A final section deals briefly with the impact automation is beginning to have on the subject covered in the volume. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Conversion Tables of Units in Science & Engineering


Book Description

Converting units from one type of usage to another is a constant and regular problem that engineers and scientists have to solve. This book will therefore be invaluable as it provides a complete coverage of all the conversion factors required. Covering areas such as mechanical units, thermal units, units of physical chemistry, units of light, units of electricity and magnetism and also radiation. References are given throughout and there is a comprehensive index.







Chemical Information Sources


Book Description

Computer disks contain chemistry reference sources database (CRSD) of 2150 records from several university chemical libraries and Pro-Cite database management software.
