Knovel, provider of a Web-based application integrating technical information with analytical and search tools, has announced the addition of Yaws' Critical Property Data for Chemical Engineers and Chemists to its growing Critical Content line. This new interactive database is exclusively available to Knovel customers.
Knovel aims to deliver content that allows engineers to find answers dramatically faster than they would otherwise. With this goal in mind, Knovel has a dedicated programme in place to expand its Critical Content line to provide engineers with information that is not otherwise easily available. While Knovel sources a significant amount of validated content from more than 90 publishing partners, including international societies, the company also strategically works with credible sources and renowned experts to create content that fills gaps in engineering information resources.
Developed by Professor Carl L. Yaws, this new collection of chemical properties data launches with 85 Tables covering more than 5000 inorganic substances, 34,000 organic substances and 293,000 records. The information closely follows the content in Section 2 of Perry's tables, but significantly expands the number of organic and inorganic substances covered.
This database also offers a number of interactive features that are not found in traditional chemical properties resources. These include interactive graphs providing visualisation of data points and the ability to calculate and plot additional data values as functions of variables such as temperature and pressure. Additionally, interactive tables with Sort and Filter capabilities allow for easy assessment and comparison of data.
This first release of Yaws' Critical Property Data for Chemical Engineers and Chemists is part of Knovel's plan to develop the largest compilation of multi-point data for chemical engineers online. Additional properties and substances will be added over time.
