Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding comprehensive tabulations of physical and chemical data, specifically focusing on properties such as density, enthalpy, and entropy for various fluids, particularly alcohols and acids. Participants are seeking resources similar to Perry's physical and chemical data tabulations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests sources for large tabulations of physical and chemical data for fluids, emphasizing a need for information on alcohols and acids.
  • Another participant suggests exploring resources available through NIST.
  • A follow-up post mentions that the original poster has accessed NIST-REFPROP but is still looking for additional data sources.
  • Several links to search results for thermodynamic data are provided, though one participant indicates they have already searched these resources.
  • The original poster expresses frustration that the available program lacks data on many alcohols and acids, prompting their inquiry for alternative sources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on specific additional sources of data beyond those mentioned, indicating that multiple competing views and uncertainties remain regarding the availability of comprehensive data.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in the availability of thermodynamic data for specific substances, particularly for alcohols and acids, and reflects the challenges in sourcing comprehensive datasets.

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.
