Handbook of Thermal Conductivity, Volume 4: Inorganic Compounds and Elements

by Carl L. Yaws

Overview

Thermal conductivity data is important in many engineering applications in the chemical processing and petroleum refining industries. The objective of this book is to provide the engineer with such data. The date is presented in graphs covering a wide temperature range to enable the engineer to quickly determine values at points of interest. The contents of the book are arranges in the following order: graphs, references, and appendixes.

Editorial Reviews

Graphs of viscosity against temperature allow engineers to determine quickly the values at points of interest. They are arranged alphabetically by compound name. Gas and liquid phases are included for each compound except the few instances in which the data has been neither experimentally found or credibly estimated. Many the temperature ranges for liquids extend from near the melting point above the boiling point to near the critical point and are applicable for saturated liquids; those for gases are also wide, and are applicable at low pressure. Common units are used, but a formula on the graph can be used to convert to English/US units. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
