----------------------------
Description:
------------
This is a Microsoft Excel Add-In that contains a database with the most used physical and chemical properties of various compounds, orderedn and presented in a fast and easy to query way.
"Properties Databank 1.0" contains the following properties for over 450 different chemicals:
- Mole Weight.
- Melting Point.
- Boiling Point.
- Critical Temperature.
- Critical Pressure.
- Critical Volume.
- Critical Compresibility Factor.
- Ascentric Factor.
- Liquid Density.
- Dipole Moment.
- Heat Capacity of the Vapor in the ideal gas state. (As a function of the temperature.)
- Viscosity. (As a function of the temperature.)
- Standard Enthalpy of Formation.
- Standard Free Energy of Formation.
- Vapor Pressure. (As a function of the temperature.)
- Vaporizing Heat.
In addition of beeing a fast reference to these properties, the "Properties Databank 1.0" Add-In contains the following functions that can be used as the standard Microsoft Excel's worksheet functions:
- Cp(Name,Temperature): Returns the heat capacity in Cal/mol-K of the compound "Name" in the ideal gas state at the specified temperature in K.
- AntoineP(Name, Temperature): Returns the vapor pressure in mmHg of the compound "Name" at the specified temperature in K using Antoine's equation.
- AntoineT(Name, Pressure): Returns the saturation temperature in K of the compound "Name" at the specified Pressure in mmHg using Antoine's equation.
- Viscosity(Name, Temperature): Returns the viscosity in cP of the compound "Name" at the specified temperature in K.
- HarlacherP(Name, Temperature): Returns the vapor pressure in mmHg of the compound "Name" at the specified temperature in K using Harlacher's equation.
All these functions can be either directly written in the cell were they are going to be used, preceded of the "=" sign; they also appear in the cathegory or "Databank" in the functions editor; or they can directly be inserted from the "Properties Databank 1.0" window using the "Insert Function" buttons.
