Excerpt
Excerpt: Thermodynamic Features. The standard reference data for ammonia have been those provided by NBS Circular I42 Tables of Thermodynamic Properties of Ammonia which was published in 1923. It is a tribute to the quality of the work that went into Circular 142 that it has remained in current use for over 50 years. However, the principal technological application for Circular 142 was the strongly stated need for data relevant to the use of ammonia as a refrigerant. Today this application is dwarfed by the growth in uses for ammonia in agriculture and industry. New applications in agriculture, plastics?almost unknown in 1923, now require enormous quantities of ammonia (production in 1976 was 16.5 million tons compared to 11.7 thousand tons in 1923). Present and proposed uses for ammonia require data in temperature and density regions much beyond the range covered by Circular 142. It is our objective with this new compendium to satisfy modern technological needs with a set of thermodynamic tables that great?
