PREFACE

The revision of Chapter 1 incorporates new data from the DIPPR Compilation and the TRC tables for hydrocarbons. A new computer method, to copy the data directly from other files and to generate the tables for the chapter, was used to minimize errors. Compounds that have been used in recent editions of other chapters have been added to Chapter 1. The computerized version of the chapter has also been modified to include these compounds.

Major work on this chapter was carried out and directed by Richard E Pulley, Jr., Research Assistant in Chemical Engineering, under the supervision of Dr. Thomas E. Daubert, Principal Investigator.
