The Properties of Gases and Liquids, Sixth Edition

A thoroughly revised edition of the go-to chemical engineering reference

Fully 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
