Book Description Presents the results of the authors' independent correlation of all new experimental and all previously existing data on thermodynamic and transport properties of water, replacing the widely used Keenan and Keyes tables. The whole body of high-quality experimental data on liquid and vapor water has been faithfully represented by a single fundamental equation from which all thermodynamic properties can ve calculated for any state. Tables are given in SI units. This edition replaces the International Metric Units edition published in 1969. | ||

How About A CD With XML Formatted Data? Generations of engineers, and not a few chemists and physicists either, have depended on this book as the standard reference for the properties of water. This is the 1969 edition, and there is no more recent edition. Which should give you some idea of how definitively the authors described their subject. Perhaps the only suggestion for improvement is for a CD version that has the tables in some XML format that can be easily integrated into a computer program. Notice that this is different from other books which might have a CD version that duplicates the contents of the hardcopy. There, the CD's main advantage might be the ability to have a comprehensive all-word index. Here, where most of the book are tables of numbers, that need is not really relevant. Instead, where there are tables, the best use of CD would be to hold XML formatted tables. | ||
