Project Details:

Heat capacities of liquids and vapours

Project No.:2007-059-1-100
Start date:2008-02-22
End date:2010-08-01
Division:Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division
Objective:
The purpose is to produce a single, up-to-date volume on all aspects of heat capacity for liquids and vapours, pure substances and mixtures written by the world's experts in each of about 20 subject areas.
Description:
The book will contain about 20 chapters on all aspects of the heat capacity of liquids and vapours. The chapters will involve theory, experimental methods, and techniques, interesting results on soultions, liquids, vapours, mixtures, electrolytes, critical regions, polymers, glassy states, reactions, effects of high pressure and phase changes. Each chapter will be written by an expert in the respective fields.
Progress:

A list of the possible chapters are given below.
