Hydrothermal Properties of Materials: Experimental Data on
Aqueous Phase Equilibria and Solution Properties at Elevated
Temperatures and Pressures is designed for any scientists and
engineer who deals with hydrothermal investigations and
technologies.
The book is organized into eight chapters, each dealing with a
key physical property of behavior of solutions, so that a reader
can obtain information on: hydrothermal experimental methods;
available experimental data and the main features of properties
behavior in a wide range of temperatures and pressures; and
possible ways of experimental data processing for obtaining the
derivative properties.
