Necessary data that's often hard to find or difficult to calculate, all in one place, in easy-access format


That's what this Handbook provides to scientific, engineering, and environmental professionals, and students, who seek information on how chemicals will behave at different temperatures and under different conditions. Covering both organic and inorganic substances, and providing both experimental values and estimated values based on methods developed by the author and other noted experts, this book can save countless hours of searching for the right source or performing complicated calculations. Useful for hundreds of on-the-job information requirements, this much-needed Handbook makes it easy to obtain critical values for temperature and pressure for design or operation of compressors and turbines; find heat capacity data for heat exchangers; accurately design and safely operate vaporizers and condensers with precise information on enthalpy of vaporization; size vaporizer/condenser storage vessels with density data; determine the heating and cooling requirements of reactors with values for the enthalpy of formation; determine chemical equilibria for reactions using Gibbs' energy of formation; design and operate effective stripping operations for water pollutant removal using water solubility data and Henry's Law Constant; find needed adsorption capacities of activated carbon for cleaning air of various pollutants; use soil sorption coefficient for agricultural applications; solve problems for fluid flow of gases and liquids using viscosity data; use thermal conductivity data for heat transfer applications; use lower and upper explosion limits in air, flock point and autoignition temperature for safety in designs and operations; use threshold limit value (ACGIH), permissible exposure limit (OSHA) and recommended exposure limit (NIOSH) to design facilities while safeguarding health; use thermal expansion coefficient data to design relief systems; and find thousands of other time-saving uses.

About Carl Yaws

Carl Yaws (Beaumont, TX), Ph.D., is a professor of chemical engineering at the College of Engineering at Lamar University. He has extensive industrial experience in process evaluation, research, development, and design at laboratory, pilot plant, and production levels. He has worked for Exxon, Ethyl, and Texas Instruments. He is author of 25 books: Physical Properties, Thermodynamic and Physical Property Data, Physical Properties of Hydrocarbons (vols. 1, 2, 3, and 4 with RWG), Handbook of Vapor Pressure (vols. 1, 2, 3, and 4), Handbook of Viscosity (vols. 1, 2, 3, and 4), Transport Property Data, Handbook of Thermal Conductivity (vols. 1, 2, 3, and 4), Handbook of Thermodynamic Diagrams (vols. 1, 2, 3, 4), Handbook of Chemical Compound Data for Process Safety, and Chemical Properties Handbook. He holds several patents and has published more than 350 papers in distillation process evaluation, cost engineering, thermodynamic property data and pollution prevention technical process modification. Dr. Yaws is currently conducting research in these same subject areas.
