Thermophysical Properties of Chemicals and Hydrocarbons

By Carl L. Yaws

Carl Yaws here presents over 7,800 organic and inorganic chemicals, and hydrocarbons. Spanning gases, liquids and solids, and covering all critical properties (including acentric factor, density, enthalpy of vaporization, and surface tension), this volume represents more properties on more chemicals than any single work of its kind, from C1 to C100 organics and Ac to Zr inorganics. Designed and formatted for field, lab or classroom usage, it gives the reader unparalleled access to invaluable data.
