A Must-Have in Chemical Engineering.......2006-06-16
If you are a chemical engineer and do not own this text, you will have a hard time. This text covers all physical properties of organic, and some inorganic, gases and liquids. It offers complete theoretical development and practical equations which are amenable to spreadsheets and numerical analysis. Particularly useful is a comparison at the end of every topic showing the accuracy of each method in predicting a property. Presented in tabular form, it allows the reader to choose a method which is sufficient for his/her needs. You may decide to choose a method that is less accurate but easier to program. Every chemical engineer should have this text. My only regret is that we did not have time in undergraduate to use this text. I learned its value from watching the graduate students.
If this review was helpful, please say so. Thanks.
The Classic Reference.......2004-07-31
When you need physical property data, and you don't have exact information; this book provides best available estimations of the physical properties. It has been a great help to me, over the years.
Having worked on a piece of an earlier edition, as a grad student at U of Mo - Rolla; where Bruce Poling was a professor, I know how much work it is putting this together for the industries. My hats off to Bruce and his co-authors, and especially to Nanci, his wife, for doing yoman's work on this 5th edition of a classic!
Excellent Guide to Workings of ASPEN Process Model.......2003-04-21
The book is an absolutely practical treatise of applied thermodymamics. The explanations of how to use property estimation methods are excellent, but invaluable are the comments on their accuracy and recommendations as to when to use which method.
The book served as my operating manual for the ASPEN software for modeling chemical processes. The book documented nearly every method used by ASPEN.
the properties of gases and liquids.......2002-11-27
Viscosity estimation and other properties of gases
Comprehensive, easy to understand.......2002-03-27
I was a bit unconfortable when I bought this book since I was suspicious that this one was one of those unreadable thermodynamic books. Fortunately I was wrong. This book provides you with a complete treatment of the properties of gases and liquids in a plain language stressing the understanding of the basic laws governing the behavior of liquids and gases instead of the mathematic that goes with it. The treatment of the topics is very suitable for engineers since it allows quick understanding of the phenomena and provides a wealth of correlations and methods for estimating properties. The appendixes contain all kind of basic information indeed helpful for applying the correlations showed. Without any hesitation, this book is well worth its price.

A comprehensive list of properties for many compounds........2000-04-19
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.
Handbook supplies huge amount of properties information........1999-11-08
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.
Essential compilation of data for many process fluids.......1999-04-30
This book is a reasonably well ordered compilation of process fluid properties for a remarkably broad range of fluids. This book is a "must have" for anyone dealing with a broad range of process industries. It is a "good to have" for all other engineers working in chemical process industry.

simple, clear, good for younger elementary students.......2007-02-18
we use it in class as a support for science!!
Book Description
Twenty-four creative, teacher-tested experiments entice students in grades 6 through 8 to explore firsthand the properties of the three states of matter--and the concepts of the changes of state between them--using toys and other everyday materials. While learning about the properties of solid, liquid, and gas, students will attempt to get a balloon into a bottle, watch a marshmallow expand and contract inside a syringe, boil water with ice, and much more. Developed with funding from the National Science Foundation, these ready-to-use, reproducible activities are designed to meet--and are clearly referenced to--the National Standards for Science Education.

A Must for Your Professional Science Teaching Library.......2000-08-09
Terrific Science Press has published several excellent books that I know of: Teaching Chemistry with Toys (grades K-9), Teaching Physics with Toys (grades K-9), and Exploring Energy with Toys (grades 4-8). I use them all with gusto, and I looked forward to receiving Investigating Solids, Liquids, and Gases with Toys (middle school). I was not disappointed.
The book begins with 13 pages of content review that includes excellent graphics, tables, and graphs. This is followed by an 8 page section on pedagogical strategies. The heart of the book, of course, is the set of 24 activities, evenly distributed between states of matter and changes of state. Each activity is clearly laid out with the following sections: time required, key science topics, student background (if required), national science education standards, additional process skills (for some activities), materials - for getting ready - for the procedure - for the extensions, safety and disposal, getting ready, introducing the activity, procedure, variations and extensions, explanation, assessment suggestions, cross-curricular integration, and handout masters that are worth the price of the book even if you already do some of these activities. Excellent graphics add to this outstanding resource. Nice extras at the end of the book include 6 masters for assessment models and a list of suppliers for materials that might need to be ordered. (Most of the activities use common materials.)
Activities: (1) Properties of Matter (2) BedBugs (3) Mystery Eggs (4) Balloon in a Bottle (5) Burping Bottle (6) Tissue in a Cup (7) Showing That Air Has Mass (8) Marshmallow in a Syringe (9) Moving Molecules (10) Non-Newtonian Fluids (11) Rock Candy Crystals (12) Crystals from Solutions (13) Crystals by Freezing (14) Boiling Water in a Paper Pot (15) Boiling Liquids in a Syringe (16) Boiling Water with Ice (17) Liquid to Gas in a Flick (18) Disappearing Air Freshener (19) A Cool Phase Change (20) Using Dry Ice to Inflate a Balloon (21) The Phase Changes of Carbon Dioxide (22) Balloon-into-a-Flask Challenge (23) Crushing an Aluminum Can (24) Hats Off to the Drinking Bird
One more thing: I also think that many of these activities could be done at the high school level, although you might choose to modify the hand-out questions.

Book Description
This vivid portrait of everyday life in the medieval Arab world draws on thirteenth-century miniatures from collections as far afield as St Petersburg and Istanbul.
The wide range of topics covers every aspect of contemporary society in the Abbasid period, from life at court to the pomp and ceremony of the military, from the dispensing of justice to the bustle of the suq and slave market. The routine of village life is contrasted with the pleasures of urban society, and we are also introduced to the world of musicians and professional mourners. Women are shown not only as virtuous wives, and in childbirth, but as spirited and articulate individuals. The traditions of Arab hospitality are described, with scenes of drinking, feasting and etiquette.
The author has illustrated her study with contemporary miniatures, principally those of al-Wasiti which accompany the celebrated Maqamat of al-Hariri. In his text, al-Hariri made no attempt to conceal his admiration for his unprincipled and thoroughly disreputable protagonist, Abu Zayd-who represents the voice of the common man and possibly provides a prototype for the popular picaresque heroes of later European literature. Al-Hariri frequently used the tales as a subtle and indirect way of satirizing the prevailing social order, yet he was insistent that his work had an underlying moral purpose.
