Project Details:

Volumetric Properties: Liquids, Solutions and Vapours

Project No.:2012-038-1-100
Start date:2012-12-01
End date:0000-00-00
Division:Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division
Objective:

In many respects this book is related to the previous volume entitled “Heat Capacities: Liquids, Solutions and Vapours” published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2010 (www.rsc.org/Shop/books/2010/9780854041763.asp  - IUPAC project 2007-059-1-100)

One of the objectives of our new book is to present in one volume, details of the disparate disciplines which have a bearing on the VOLUME PROPERTIES (including expansivities and compressibilities) of liquids, solutions and vapours. Links between these chapters, we believe, will stimulate the development of new ways of solving problems and broaden the look at the topics as discussed in the 20 chapter that make up the book.

Description:

The book includes the most important experimental techniques, the underlying theory, modeling and computer simulations, together with significant and new results related to volume properties. In fact, the coverage and critical evaluation of pertinent publications related to the topics covered up to 2013 is one of the important aspects of this book.
