In chemical, petroleum, air-conditioning and refrigeration engineering, the engineer often encounters systems where gases and condensing vapours co-exist. Key data describing the behaviour of such mixtures can be obtained by consulting an appropriate psychrometric chart, but up until now such charts were difficult or impossible to obtain. This new book brings together for the first time over 300 such charts, covering most of the systems likely to be encountered by chemical, petroleum, air-conditioning and refrigeration engineers.
