Revised and updated (first edition, 1989), this thorough compilation presents the most comprehensive data-tables available to date for the thermodynamic properties of pure substances. The massive collection covers 2,400 pure substances, including 100 organic compounds as well as substances never before discussed in similar tables. The broad scope of thermochemical functions included ranges from heat capacity, entropy, and Gibbs energy function to enthalpy of formation and equilibrium constant of formation. The value of these functions is tabulated at intervals of 100 K, starting at room temperature, and going up to 5000 K. Combining all the well-established tabulations with a broad range of more recent publications, the compilation also introduces thermodynamics and describes the fundamental relations of chemical thermodynamics. Numerous examples illustrate the use of the tables. For metallurgical, ceramic, and chemical engineers. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Providing an overview of the latest computational approaches to estimate rate constants for thermal reactions, this book addresses the theories behind various first-principle and approximation methods that have emerged in the last twenty years with validation examples. It presents in-depth applications of those theories to a wide range of basic and applied research areas. When doing modeling and simulation of chemical reactions (as in many other cases), one often has to compromise between higher-accuracy/higher-precision approaches (which are usually time-consuming) and approximate/lower-precision approaches (which often has the advantage of speed in providing results). This book covers both approaches. It is augmented by a wide-range of applications of the above methods to fuel combustion, unimolecular and bimolecular reactions, isomerization, polymerization, and to emission control of nitrogen oxides. An excellent resource for academics and industry members in physical chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields.

This is the revised, extended, up-to-date third edition of the acclaimed reference book 'Thermochemical Data of Pure Substances'. The introductory section discusses thermodynamic theory and applications concisely and explains how best to use the tables; it has also been expanded to refer to ores, coal, waste and residues. Researched and arranged with meticulous care, it contains comprehensive thermodynamic data tables for over 2500 pure substances in different phases, over 230 of which are organic. The renowned clarity of the tables and the wealth of valuable information contained therein guarantees the high standard of this celebrated work. 'This is undoubtedly one of the most extensive sets of data available, covering a remarkable number of compounds...listing values for all of the thermodynamic variables over the entire range of temperatures considered.' Faraday Transactions 'The introduction is intended as a support for those not well- versed in chemical thermodynamics, but, by providing worked examples, also helps those more adept to brush up forgotten basics.'

These proceedings provide an overview of magnesium production technology, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and alloy development. Co-sponsored with TMS by the Magnesium Association, the symposium was divided into several sessions: Electrolytic technology, thermal reduction/environmental, automotive issues and recycling, alloy development/corrosion, solidification, creep properties/heat treating effects, physical/mechanical properties, wrought alloys/thixmolding. A collection of papers from the 2000 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition, held in Nashville, Tennessee, March 12-March 15, 2000.
