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.
