Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter presents results for physical property data for major hydrocarbons and organic chemicals. The results are presented in an easy-to-use, tabular format, which is especially applicable for rapid engineering usage with the personal computer or hand calculator. The tabulation is based on both experimental data and estimated values. In the data collection, a literature search was conducted to identify data source publications. The publications were screened, and copies of appropriate data were made. These data were then keyed into the computer to provide a data base of critical properties for compounds for which experimental data are available. The data base serves as a basis to check the accuracy of the estimation methods. The physical properties include molecular weight; freezing point; boiling point; critical constants like temperature, pressure, and volume; acentric factor; and density. A wide range of compounds are covered, including oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, sulfur, silicon and other chemical types.
