Thermophysical Properties Of Chemicals And Hydrocarbons

Compiled by an expert in the field, the book provides an engineer with data they can trust. Spanning gases, liquids, and solids, all critical properties (including viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion coefficient) are covered. From C1 to C100 organics and Ac to Zr inorganics, the data in this handbook is a perfect quick reference for field, lab or classroom usage. By collecting a large – but relevant – amount of information in one source, the handbook enables engineers to spend more time developing new designs and processes, and less time collecting vital properties data. This is not a theoretical treatise, but an aid to the practicing engineer in the field, on day-to-day operations and long range projects. Simplifies research and significantly reduces the amount of time spent collecting properties data Compiled by an expert in the field, the book provides an engineer with data they can trust in design, research, development and manufacturing A single, easy reference for critical temperature dependent properties for a wide range of hydrocarbons, including C1 to ClOO organics and Ac to Zr inorganics

Carl Yaws, a leading authority on chemical compounds in the chemical engineering field, has done it again. In Transport Properties of Chemicals and Hydrocarbons -- an essential volume for any chemist or chemical engineer’s library -- he has amassed over 7,800 organic and inorganic chemicals, and hydrocarbons. Spanning gases, liquids and solids, and covering all critical properties (including viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion coefficient), this volume represents more properties on more chemicals than any single work of its kind.

Petroleum and chemical engineers are constantly looking for reliable data yet don’t have the time to search through multiple sources and articles to get the most accurate pieces of data. The Yaws Handbook of Thermodynamic Properties for Hydrocarbons and Chemicals, 2nd edition brings a one-stop database reference for engineers to quickly gain access on over 12,000 compounds, simple and complex fluids, and an extensive list of properties – all to validate and improve on their thermodynamic modeling. Enhanced with eight new chapters covering more equation of state parameters, Yaws’ product continues to remain a go-to source to crosscheck critical properties available on process simulators or PVT software and estimate these properties based on the group contribution methods described in the different chapters. The Yaws Handbook of Thermodynamic Properties for Hydrocarbons and Chemicals, 2nd edition stands as the trusted database to optimize petrochemical processes, equipment, and operations. Provides a reliable database reference for thermodynamic properties, even varied by temperature, as well as simple and complex fluids, mixtures, and property calculations Updated with eight additional new chapters covering a modern platform of practical applications in modelling both pure fluids and mixtures with cubic equations of state Delivers accurate and quick options and solutions to size or simulate petrochemical processes and develop better predictive models
