Explore the science and practical data behind steam and ammonia in one trusted reference.This edition compiles rigorous experimental data with a consistent, comprehensive theory to describe the thermal properties of water vapor and ammonia. It emphasizes accuracy and internal consistency, offering tables and diagrams that align closely with reliable measurements from leading laboratories.
Designed for engineers, researchers, and students, the book presents a clear path from experimental results to usable formulas, with attention to saturated and superheated states and to the effects of temperature and pressure on volume, heat, and entropy. It also includes practical supplements to support problem solving in real-world applications.
- Carefully developed tables and Mollier diagrams to simplify calculations for steam and ammonia problems.
- Experimental data and theory that connect volume, pressure, temperature, and heat content.
- Supplementary materials, including mixtures and conversion tables, for hygrometric and process analyses.
- Illustrative examples that show how to apply the formulations to engineering challenges.
Ideal for readers building a solid, applicable understanding of thermodynamics in steam and ammonia systems.
