Tables are presented based on the Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential for nonpolar molecules to be used in the representation of second and third virial coefficients and equation-of-state corrections for enthalpy, entropy, specific heats at constant volume and at constant pressure, the ratio of specific heats, the isentropic expansion coefficient, and the velocity of sound. The treatment for effects involving three molecules jointly uses an empirical adjustment of the Lennard-Jones force parameters within a cluster of three independently of the value for an isolated pair. A graphical correlation of ratios of these parameters with the critical constants is also shown which permits better estimates for compact nonpolar molecules with known critical constants but with limited data of state.

"This book is a bibliographical database of articles on thermodynamical properties of inorganic compounds, gases, solutions, metals and alloys, published between 1970 and 1987. This reference source book compiles 25,846 references about more than 13,400 systems and should be particularly useful for people working in inorganic chemical engineering, metallurgy, and new materials processing."--Preface.

Originally published in 1985, this textbook provides a thorough and comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics in stoichiometry and thermodynamics with special emphasis on applications to metallurgical processes. This book will be welcomed as a text for courses in elementary and advanced thermodynamics and stoichiometry.
