Enthalpy and Internal Energy: Liquids, Solutions and Vapours [Hardcover]

Containing the very latest information on all aspects of enthalpy and internal energy as related to fluids, this book brings all the information into one authoritative survey in this well-defined field of chemical thermodynamics. Written by acknowledged experts in their respective fields, each of the 26 chapters covers theory, experimental methods and techniques and results for all types of liquids and vapours. These properties are important in all branches of pure and applied thermodynamics and this vital source is an important contribution to the subject hopefully also providing key pointers for cross-fertilization between sub-areas.Internal Energy and Enthalpy: Introduction, Concepts and Selected Applications; Macroscopic Energy and Entropy Balances in Phase Equilibrium Studies; Enthalpy Measurements of Condensed Matter by Peltier-element-based Adiabatic Scanning Calorimetry (pASC); Isothermal Titration Calorimetry; Calorimetric Determination of Enthalpies of Vaporization; Energetic Effects in Hydrogen-bonded Liquids and Solutions; Thermodynamic Studies of Inclusion Compounds of Cyclodextrin; Thermodynamic Studies of Chiral Compounds; Temperature Dependence of the Enthalpy of Alkanes and Related Phase Change Materials (PCMs); Enthalpy Changes on Solution of Gases in Liquids; Titration Calorimetry and Differential Scanning Calorimetry of LipidProtein Interactions; Biocalorimetry: Differential Scanning Calorimetry of Protein Solutions; Biocalorimetry of Plants, Insects and Soil Microorganisms; Temperature Dependence of the Enthalpy Near Critical and Tricritical Second-order and Weakly First-order Phase Transitions; YangYang Critical Anomaly; Internal Pressure and Internal Energy of Saturated and Compressed Phases; Solubility Parameters: A Brief Review; Internal Pressure of Liquids: A Review; Excess Enthalpies for Binary Systems Containing Ionic Liquids; Electrolyte Solutions: Standard State Partial Molar Enthalpies of Aqueous Solution up to High Temperatures; Corl“ä
