A thoroughly revised edition of the go-to chemical engineering referenceFully updated for the latest advances, this must-have chemical engineering guide serves as a single source for up-to-date physical data, chemical data, and predictive and estimation methods.
The Properties of Gases and Liquids, Sixth Edition provides the latest curated data on over 480 compounds and includes a special section devoted to the interpretation of uncertainty in physical property estimation. You will get new coverage of advanced EOSs, advanced computational methods, quantum density functional theory, and semi-empirical combinations. Clear explanations and sample calculations are provided throughout this all-inclusive resource.
Coverage includes:
- Traditional and non-traditional estimation methods
- Uncertainty
- Critical properties and related constants
- Ideal gas properties
- Saturation properties and virial coefficients
- Equations of state for pure compounds
- Equations of state for mixture properties
- Vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid equilibria
- Infinite dilution activity coefficients
- Viscosity and thermal conductivity
- Diffusivity and surface tension
