Features: This volume primarily uses charts and tables to introduce the fundamentals of thermodynamics and thermal physical properties of cryogenic fluids, thermodynamic properties, phase equilibrium data, and thermodynamic property charts of fluids. Part 1 primarily introduces the thermodynamics and thermal physical property data of cryogenic fluids, providing definitions and functions of relevant thermodynamic properties, equations of state, gas constants, and critical parameters. It covers thermodynamic properties such as saturated vapor pressure, density, gas compressibility, latent heat, liquid compressibility, and specific heat capacity, as well as the definitions and expressions of transport properties like thermal conductivity, viscosity, and surface tension. Part 2 introduces thermodynamic and transport property data of air, nitrogen, oxygen, rare gases (excluding helium), helium and its isotopes, hydrogen and its isotopes, hydrocarbons, other related fluids, and fluid mixtures in a chart-based, chapter-by-chapter format. Additionally, it provides computational tables for the thermal physical properties of some cryogenic fluids. Part 3 introduces phase equilibrium composition charts based on experimental data, covering binary, ternary, and multicomponent mixtures for gas-liquid, gas-solid, and solid-liquid phase equilibria. Part 4 introduces thermodynamic property charts for common cryogenic fluids and refrigerants. This book is suitable for research and design technicians, production, marketing, and management personnel involved in cryogenic engineering, as well as for graduate students, undergraduates, and advanced learners for reference purposes.
