ESDU Physical Data, Chemical Engineering Series
The ESDU Physical Data, Chemical Engineering Series provides the most reliable correlated data available for the physical properties of a wide range of pure compounds, and some mixtures, used in the chemical industry. The data, which are provided as equations and in tabular form, are based on the most reliable experimental data, both reported and unreported.
Within compound groups, data are extrapolated beyond experimental temperature ranges in a consistent and reliable manner. Reliable estimates are provided for properties of compounds within family groups for which experimental data are not available. Uncertainties are stated over the whole temperature range.
The Physical Data, Chemical Engineering Series provides the following properties data.
- Vapour pressure.
- Liquid density.
- Liquid heat capacity and enthalpy.
- Liquid viscosity.
- Liquid and gas thermal conductivity.
- Fire hazard properties.
- Properties of water substance.
Additionally, the thermophysical properties of a number of industrially- important compounds, including modern refrigerants, are provided on the saturation line from the melting point up to the critical temperature, together with those of the ideal gas.
