HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Thermophysical properties for more than 7,800 chemicals and hydrocarbons are presented in this book for temperature dependent properties. Values for enthalpy of vaporization at normal boiling point are provided for more than 22,000 compounds. The comprehensive coverage includes C1 to C100 organics and Ac to Zr inorganics. The property data are helpful in many engineering and scientific applications:



Molecular formula - indicates size of molecule, determine groups for group contribution methods to estimate thermodynamic properties



Name - identification of compound, helpful in locating safety regulations.



***In the tables, an asterisk (*) beside the name of a compound signifies that the name has been shortened to fit the format of the table. To see the full name, refer to the compound by CAS or ID number in chapter one.



CAS No - Chemical Abstracts Registry Number, useful in specifying compound, helpful in finding MSDS data and locating manufacturers on web



Freezing point - useful to determine state at normal conditions - gas, liquid, or solid, helpful in specifying containers for storage and shipping



Boiling point - helpful in ascertaining temperatures required for vaporization in process operations, determine separation by distillation, characterize general volatility characteristics



Critical temperature - useful in corresponding thermodynamic and transport properties



Critical pressure - helpful in corresponding thermodynamic and transport properties



Acentric factor - useful in corresponding state correlations for thermodynamic and transport properties



Critical volume - helpful in corresponding state correlations



Critical density - useful in corresponding state correlations



Critical compressibility factor - helpful in corresponding state correlations



Density of liquid - useful in design of storage vessels and shipping containers, useful in many engineering applications involving liquids, helpful in relief valve sizing for safety



Density of solid - helpful in design of storage vessels and shipping containers



Enthalpy of vaporization - useful in design of vaporizers and condensers, engineering applications involving saturated liquids and vapors, safety engineering such as ascertaining vaporization quantities from vessel rupture
