The Yaws' Handbook of Thermodynamic Properties of Hydrocarbons and Chemicals A Must-Have For Anyone Working In the Fields of Chemical Engineering.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45860) has announced the addition of Yaws' Handbook of Thermodynamic Properties Here is a partial list of thermodynamic properties of fluids:
  • temperature [K]
  • density [kg/m3]
 for Hydrocarbons hydrocarbons (hīˈ·drō·kärˑ·bnz),
n.
 and Chemicals to their offering.

Written by one of the most prolific and well-respected chemical engineers that the industry has ever produced, this is the most comprehensive and thorough volume ever written on the thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons and chemicals. Carl Yaws is the world's foremost authority on vapour pressure and the properties of hydrocarbons and chemicals and he again proves it in this follow up to his important work published in 2005, Yaws' Handbook of Physical Properties of Hydrocarbons and Chemicals.

Covering the thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons and chemicals, this volume covers the spectrum, including chapters on the heat capacity and entropy entropy (ĕn`trəpē), quantity specifying the amount of disorder or randomness in a system bearing energy or information. Originally defined in thermodynamics in terms of heat and temperature, entropy indicates the degree to which a given  of gas, the heat capacity and entropy of solids, the heat capacity of liquids, the entropy of formation and many other topics. Not just useful for the scientists in the lab or the student, this volume provides valuable information for the engineer working in the field.

The design of heat exchangers heat exchanger

Any of several devices that transfer heat from a hot to a cold fluid. In many engineering applications, one fluid needs to be heated and another cooled, a requirement economically accomplished by a heat exchanger.
 and other equipment for heating or cooling substances to temperatures necessary in process applications requires knowledge of heat capacity, covered in the first portion of the book. The heat effects of the chemical reactions This is the 18th episode of television drama Men in Trees. It originally aired on June 25, 2007 on the TV2 network in New Zealand as a continuation of season 1. Recap

 are ascertained from enthalpy enthalpy (ĕn`thălpē), measure of the heat content of a chemical or physical system; it is a quantity derived from the heat and work relations studied in thermodynamics.  of formation, covered in chapter four. Other chapters cover the Hemmholtz energy of formation, internal energy of formation and entropy of formation, useful in modeling and ascertaining the energy of explosions. The thermodynamic properties provided in the book are important in design, operations, research, development, environmental and safety covering literally thousands of compounds.

This coverage greatly exceeds the coverage of any other book and makes Yaws' Handbook of Thermodynamic Properties of Hydrocarbons and Chemicals a must-have for anyone working in the fields of chemical engineering, process engineering, refining refining, any of various processes for separating impurities from crude or semifinished materials. It includes the finer processes of metallurgy, the fractional distillation of petroleum into its commercial products, and the purifying of cane, beet, and maple sugar  and chemistry.
