The discussion centers on finding comprehensive tabulations of physical and chemical data, specifically for fluids like alcohols and acids, including properties such as density, enthalpy, and entropy. The original poster has accessed NIST-REFPROP but is seeking additional sources due to the limited data on various alcohols and acids. They mention that the program they purchased does not include many common substances, which is a significant concern. Suggestions for alternative data sources are requested, particularly beyond the Perry Handbook. The conversation highlights the need for more extensive thermodynamic information in specific categories.

Hi!

I would like to crowdsource where can I find a large tabulation of physical and chemical data (ie. density, enthalpy and entropy; for both single-phase and saturated phases) for different fluids; preferrably for alcohols and acids.

What I'm trying to look for is something similar to Perry's physical and chemical data tabulations.

Thanks!

I would go poking around NIST.

Thanks for replying.

Actually I managed to have access to NIST-REFPROP. Is there any other possible sources of data?

Um... I did this already :oldfrown:

In my end, I found (and purchased) this program from doing what you mentioned:

My fundamental issue is that it seems to lack information regarding most alcohols (other than methanol and ethanol), and most acids as well (not even acetic acid). That's why I was asking if someone knows other possible sources of thermodynamic information other than this and the Perry Handbook.
 
I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
