This book, "The Properties of Gases and Liquids," by Robert C. Reid, John M. Prausnitz, and Bruce E. Poling, provides a comprehensive overview of the physical properties of gases and liquids. It is organized into twelve chapters, each focusing on different aspects of these properties. The first chapter introduces the estimation of physical properties and discusses various methods of estimation. The second chapter covers pure component constants, including critical properties, acentric factor, boiling and freezing points, and dipole moments. The third chapter discusses pressure-volume-temperature relations, including equations of state, virial equations, and cubic equations of state. The fourth chapter focuses on volumetric properties of mixtures, including mixing rules and activity coefficients. The fifth chapter covers thermodynamic properties, including departure functions, heat capacities, and fugacity. The sixth chapter discusses thermodynamic properties of ideal gases, including various estimation methods. The seventh chapter covers vapor pressures, enthalpies of vaporization, and other thermodynamic properties of pure fluids. The eighth chapter discusses fluid phase equilibria in multicomponent systems, including vapor-liquid equilibria, activity coefficients, and solubilities. The ninth chapter covers viscosity, including the effects of pressure and temperature on viscosity of gases and liquids. The tenth chapter discusses thermal conductivity, including the effects of temperature and pressure on thermal conductivity of gases and liquids. The eleventh chapter covers diffusion coefficients, including the effects of temperature and pressure on diffusion in gases and liquids. The twelfth chapter discusses surface tension, including the estimation of surface tension of pure liquids and aqueous solutions. The book also includes appendices with property data and Lennard-Jones potentials. The book is a valuable resource for chemical engineers and researchers in the field of chemical engineering.This book, "The Properties of Gases and Liquids," by Robert C. Reid, John M.
