Publisher's Synopsis
The main aim of this reference work is to provide broad coverage of data commonly required by physical scientists. This edition has been restructured to include new information and tables.;There are revised sections on thermodynamics and physical properties, including vapour pressure, enthalpy of vaporization, enthalpy of combustion, thermal conductivity and viscosity and properties of fluids. Also included are new tables on molecular structure and chemical kinetics, as well as on health, safety and environmental protection which include properties of large production and priority chemicals for which environmental problems exist, threshold limits for airborne pollutants in the work environment and prudent practices for the handling and disposals of laboratory chemicals. Tables on semiconductor and superconductor properties have been expanded.
