The Chemistry and Metallurgy of Miscellaneous Materials: Thermodynamics

This book deals primarily with the thermodynamic properties of a large number of compounds and elements. Tables of heat contents, vapor pressures, heats of vaporization and entropies of vaporization for more than sixty elements have been compiled. Thermodynamic and physical properties of nitrides, carbides, sulfides, silicides, phosphides, halides and common gases are also given. The results of the investigation of the liquidsolid equilibriums of the two-component systems composed of the bromides and iodides of barium and strontium and the temperature-composition diagrams of metal-metal halide systems are discussed. A total of ten papers is included in the book. Each paper contains a comprehensive list of references. The book, which is a part of the National Nuclear Energy Series, will be of interest mainly to the physicist and physical chemist.
