Experimental Thermodynamics Volume IX

Download or read book Experimental Thermodynamics Volume IX written by Marc J Assael and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the leading experts in the field, this book will provide a valuable, current account of the advances in the measurement and prediction of transport properties that have occurred over the last twenty years. Critical to industry, these properties are fundamental to, for example, the development of fossil fuels, carbon sequestration and alternative energy sources. This unique and comprehensive account will provide the experimental and theoretical background of near-equilibrium transport properties which provide the background when investigating industrial applications. Coverage includes new experimental techniques and how existing techniques have developed, new fluids eg molten metals, dense fluids, and critical enhancements of transport properties of pure substances. Practitioners and researchers in chemistry and engineering will benefit from this state of the art record of recent advances in the field of transport properties.
