Objective:
Experimental Thermodynamics prepared by the Commission in 1970 has
been an archival book for nearly 30 years on Thermodynamic Measurement
Techniques. It is now out of date; many new techniques have been developed.
At the same time many industrial organisations have reduced their
expertise in the field. Industrialists and Academic Research Workers
have argued that the volume needs to be updated to provide a reference
for the world expertise before it is lost and has to be reinvented.
It is proposed to update the volume by including only what is new
and relevant. It will comprise two volumes on single and multiple
phase separately.
Progress:
- Volume VI. Measurement
of the Thermodynamic Properties of Single Phases
Editors: A.R.H. Goodwin, K.N. Marsh and W.A. Wakeham
published - Elsevier, 2003 [ISBN 0-444-50931-3]
- Volume VII. Measurement
of the Thermodynamic Properties of Multiple Phases
Editors: Th. de Loos and R.D. Weir
The 16 chapters that make up the edition are in the hands of the production
department of Elsevier Publishers. Some 24 authors from nine different
countries contributed material. This book contains descriptions of
recent developments in the techniques for measurement of thermodynamic
quantities for multiple phases of pure fluids as well mixtures over
a wide range of conditions. The precision and accuracy of results
obtained from each method was regarded as an essential element in
each description. Throughout the text, the quantities, units and symbols
are those defined by IUPAC for use in the international community.
