Editorial Reviews

The third volume in a three-volume handbook that supplies values for thermal conductivity as a function of temperature for the major organic compounds including hydrocarbons, oxygenates, halogenates, nitrogenates, sulfur compounds, silicon compounds, and other chemical types. Graphs enable engineers to quickly determine values at desired temperatures. The graphs are arranged by carbon number and chemical formula, and are based on both experimental data and estimated values using standard methods and equations. Common units for thermal conductivity are used, and each graph displays a conversion factor to provide English units. Appendices in each volume provide coefficients for liquid and gas thermal conductivity equations, data codes for compounds, and indexes by compound formula and compound name. Annotation c.
