Knovel
handbooks and books (Also available through
the AIChE.) Excellent on-line source of all sorts of information. Searchable.
A few examples:
o
Lange's Handbook of Chemistry
o
DIPPR Project 801 Extensive
database of rigorously evaluated pure component data on 1973 industrially
important chemical compounds from the Design
Institute for Physical Properties (2009).
Reference state is 1 bar, 298.15 K.
Density,
viscosity, vapor pressure, heat capacity, heat of vaporization, surface
tension, second virial coefficient, critical properties,
acentric factor, hazard and safety properties -- many versus temperature.
o
DIPPR 882 - Transport Properties and Related Thermodynamic
Data of Binary Mixtures
o
Knovel Solvents
Over 145 properties for
over 1600 different solvents including general, physical, health, safety,
environmental, thermodynamic, transport, etc.
o
Yaws’ Handbook of Thermodynamic and Physical Properties Thermodynamic and transport
properties versus temperature of 5000 organic chemical compounds, C1 to
C70. Tables are interactive, most with equations for easy calculation and
plotting.
o
Handbook of Antoine Coefficients for Vapor Pressure Built-in equation plotter giving P or
log(P) versus T with choice of units.
o
Handbook for Estimating Physicochemical Properties of
Organic Compounds
o
Yaws' Handbook of Physical Properties for Hydrocarbons and
Chemicals
o
Yaws' Transport Properties of Chemicals and Hydrocarbons
Diffusion coefficients, thermal conductivities,
viscosities of pure components and mixtures.
The diffusion coefficients of gases are for low pressure, and appear to
be at either 1 atm or 1 bar (DP is constant for gases at low pressure).
o
Thermodynamic Properties of Cryogenic Fluids
o
Water-steam All properties, in tables, graphs,
interactive tables, and calculator.
o
Handbook of Inorganic Chemicals Chemical reactions of over 2000 of
the most common industrial chemicals.

of Chemistry and Physics (CRC) Use * before chemical name or formula, e.g.
*NaCl or *ClNa for NaCl. See page 14-19 in the 87th edition
for the composition of dry air at sea level, and changes versus
height.
