SUMMARY

The discussion centers on sourcing extensive tabulations of physical and chemical data, specifically focusing on density, enthalpy, and entropy for various fluids, particularly alcohols and acids. The user has accessed NIST-REFPROP but finds it lacking in data for many alcohols and acids beyond methanol and ethanol. They are seeking alternative resources similar to Perry's Handbook for comprehensive thermodynamic information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamic properties such as density, enthalpy, and entropy.
  • Familiarity with NIST-REFPROP software for thermodynamic data.
  • Knowledge of chemical compounds, particularly alcohols and acids.
  • Experience with data sourcing and analysis in physical chemistry.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research alternative thermodynamic data sources beyond NIST-REFPROP and Perry's Handbook.
  • Explore the latest version of NIST Chemistry WebBook for additional data.
  • Investigate databases like the Thermophysical Properties of Fluid Systems for comprehensive fluid data.
  • Learn about the use of Aspen Plus for thermodynamic modeling and data retrieval.
USEFUL FOR

Chemical engineers, researchers in physical chemistry, and professionals seeking detailed thermodynamic data for alcohols and acids will benefit from this discussion.

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.
