Chemical Properties Handbook: Physical, Thermodynamics, Engironmental Transport, Safety & Health Related Properties for Organic & Inorganic Chemical Necessary data that’s often hard to find or difficult to calculate, all in one place, in easy-access format. That’s what this Handbook provides to scientific, engineering, and environmental professionals, and students, who seek information on how chemicals will behave at different temperatures and under different conditions. Covering both organic and inorganic substances, and providing both experimental values and estimated values based on methods developed by the author and other noted experts, this book can save countless hours of searching for the right source or performing complicated calculations. Useful for hundreds of on-the-job information requirements, this much-needed Handbook makes it easy to obtain critical values for temperature and pressure for design or operation of compressors and turbines; find heat capacity data for heat exchangers; accurately design and safely operate vaporizers and condensers with precise information on enthalpy of vaporization; size vaporizer/condenser storage vessels with density data; determine the heating and cooling requirements of reactors with values for the enthalpy of formation; determine chemical equilibria for reactions using Gibbs’ energy of formation; design and operate effective stripping operations for water pollutant removal using water solubility data and Henry’s Law Constant; find needed adsorption capacities of activated carbon for cleaning air of various pollutants; use soil sorption coefficient for agricultural applications; solve problems for fluid flow of gases and liquids using viscosity data; use thermal conductivity data for heat transfer applications; use lower and upper explosion limits in air, flock point and autoignition temperature for safety in designs and operations; use threshold limit value (ACGIH), permissible exposure limit (OSHA) and recommended exposure limit (NIOSH) to design facilities while safeguarding health; use thermal expansion coefficient data to design relief systems; and find thousands of other time-saving uses.
Customer Review: A comprehensive list of properties for many compounds.
This book covers a widee range of physical properties. The major criticism that I have for this reference book is that the data is presented in a way that is not always readily useful in creating spreadsheets and programs to use the data efficiently.

Other more historical references also have a more comprehensive representation of the data that in this book (although it would be difficult to fit all the detailed information of every compound out there into one book). Not a bad place to start to look for information – but no means a bible.
Customer Review: Handbook supplies huge amount of properties information.
The author has produced a unique chemical, physical, and thermodynamics properties reference for scientists, researchers, chemists, and engineers. Those working in agricultural chemicals, environmental studies, explosion hazards, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, pollution control, safety and health, soil and groundwater remediation, and many other fields where finding properties data is important, will find this handbook highly beneficial. Dr. Yaws, assisted by colleagues and students, has worked for years in the fields of properties correlation, usage, estimation, and values collection from hundreds of references.

The NST/Engineers, Inc. reviewers found that in this book, in a compact form, readers will learn to use methods for getting massive amounts of temperature-variable data for a number of important properties variables. That is, as opposed to the older method of property versus temperature for each chemical compound being presented as a separate table, here key constants are provided in a single row of data. The compact form used is the correlation equation that contains the constants. You get the property value you want, at a temperature you choose, by making a fairly simple calculation. However, many other useful tables are provided where properties data is simply listed. As it is, the book has nearly eight hundred pages. Had the older method been used exclusively, it would have required a library of books.

The correlation equations have been either developed or selected from the literature. References providing a deeper understanding of the correlations are provided. The typical correlation equation used gives the property as the dependent variable, temperature as the independent variable, and values for the necessary constants. The range of temperatures is given over which the correlation and its constants are most valid. Both experimentally-measured and estimated data that are considered reliable have been used in determining the constants.

An example is the table of constants and their valid temperature range for the Gibbs (Free) Energy of Formation, delta Gf, specifically for organic compounds as gases. It is based on a correlation equation that is a series expansion in temperature. A table row gives the organic’s name and formula, values for the three constants, and the valid temperature range. Just in case you want the delta Gf value at room temperature, the measured value at 298K is listed. If you want to check your calculating ability, the calculated value at 500K is also listed. All temperatures are in Kelvin. The text explains that delta Gf values are used in determining the probability that a proposed chemical reaction, or decomposition, will take place. For a reaction, you select reactants and reaction products that make a balanced equation. Using the table, you add the delta Gf values for all the products and subtract from that total all the delta Gf values of the reactants. If the result is negative, the reaction will probably occur. The more negative the result, the more likely the reaction. If the result is positive a reaction is not expected.

The table for inorganics is different. Only values at room temperature are given. However, room temperature values for Helmholtz Energy of Formation (used in estimating the energy of vapor cloud explosions) and Entropy of Formation (also used in explosion estimates) are listed.

Other correlation-keyed tables presented are: Heat Capacities of Gases, Liquids and Solids; Enthalpy of Vaporization; Vapor Pressure; Liquid Density; Surface Tension; Enthalpy of Formation of Gases; Solubility of Organic Compounds in Water Containing Salt up to Saturation, at selected temperatures; Solubility of Organic Compounds in Water as a Function of Temperature; Henry’s Law Constant for Organic Compounds in Water; Adsorption of Organics on Activated Carbon; Soil Sorption Coefficient for Organics in Water; Viscosity of Gases and Liquids; Thermal Conductivity of Gases, Liquids, and Solids; and Coefficient of Expansion of Liquids.

Major data tables presented are: Critical Properties and Acentric Factor; Enthalpy of Fusion; Refractive Index, Dipole Moment, and Radius of Gyration; Entropy and Entropy of Formation of Gases; Solubility Parameter,Liquid Volume, and Van Der Waals Area and Volume; Solubility in Water and Octanol-Water Partition Coefficient for Organic Compounds; Explosive Limits in Air, Flash Point, and Autoignition Temperature; Enthalpy of Combustion of Organic Compounds at 77 deg. F; and Exposure Limits for Safeguarding Health.

Note the application of a number of these tables to air and water pollution control and soil remediation projects. Keeping in mind that estimations have played an important part in preparing the tables in the handbook, users must understand that if carefully determined experimental data could be obtained where it does not now exist, such values could vary from values obtained from the tables. However, where the author has checked estimated and correlation data with measured data, the variation was usually no more than several percent.

There are helpful appendixes listing: organics by increasing carbon content in the formula, name, and CAS Number; inorganics listed alphabetically by formula, with name and CAS Number; then organics and inorganics by increasing CAS Number; and finally organics and inorganics listed alphabetically by their synonyms that you might see in U.S. industrial or international chemical literature, together with formulas, the name used in the handbook’s tables, and the CAS Number.

The great advantages of the book are that it provides access to such a large amount of properties data that otherwise would cost the searcher a great amount of time and effort to obtain, and it is in a compact form.

Groups with the Haagerup Property A locally compact group has the Haagerup property, or is a-T-menable in the sense of Gromov, if it admits a proper isometric action on some affine Hilbert space. As Gromov’s pun is trying to indicate, this definition is designed as a strong negation to Kazhdan’s property (T), characterized by the fact that every isometric action on some affine Hilbert space has a fixed point. The aim of this book is to cover, for the first time in book form, various aspects of the Haagerup property. New characterizations are brought in, using ergodic theory or operator algebras. Several new examples are given, and new approaches to previously known examples are proposed. Connected Lie groups with the Haagerup property are completely characterized.

Calculating the Value of the Union: Slavery, Property Rights, and the Economic Origins of the Civil War (Civil War America)

Calculating the Value of the Union: Slavery, Property Rights, and the Economic Origins of the Civil War (Civil War America) While slavery is often at the heart of debates over the causes of the Civil War, historians are not agreed on precisely what aspect of slavery-with its various social, economic, political, cultural, and moral ramifications-gave rise to the sectional rift. In Calculating the Value of the Union, James Huston integrates economic, social, and political history to argue that the issue of property rights as they pertained to slavery was at the center of the Civil War.

In the early years of the nineteenth century, southern slaveholders sought a national definition of property rights that would recognize and protect their ownership of slaves. Northern interests, on the other hand, opposed any national interpretation of property rights because of the threat slavery posed to the northern free labor market, particularly if allowed to spread to western territories. This impasse sparked a process of political realignment that culminated in the creation of the Republican Party, ultimately leading to the secession crisis.

Deeply researched and carefully written, this study rebuts recent trends in antebellum historiography and persuasively argues for a fundamentally economic interpretation of the slavery issue and the coming of the Civil War.

Community Property in the United States Community Property in the United States is the only casebook on the subject with cases and statutes from all of the nine community property states: the eight states that derived their community property systems from Spanish-Mexican or Spanish-French colonial law (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington) and Wisconsin, which has community property laws based upon the Uniform Marital Property Act promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1983. Within the same basic system, the states differ in their treatment of many issues. Observation of these similarities and differences will enhance the student’s understanding of a particular state’s law and develop his or her critical faculties.
