Tables are presented based on the Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential for nonpolar molecules to be used in the representation of second and third virial coefficients and equation-of-state corrections for enthalpy, entropy, specific heats at constant volume and at constant pressure, the ratio of specific heats, the isentropic expansion coefficient, and the velocity of sound. The treatment for effects involving three molecules jointly uses an empirical adjustment of the Lennard-Jones force parameters within a cluster of three independently of the value for an isolated pair. A graphical correlation of ratios of these parameters with the critical constants is also shown which permits better estimates for compact nonpolar molecules with known critical constants but with limited data of state.

This bibliography of the mechanical, thermodynamic and transport properties of oxygen below 0°C presents 325 references and is the result of a thorough search of the world's scientific and engineering literature. In addition to searching abstracting journals and bibliographies, the authors reviewed each document for property data and for additional references. Listed for each reference are the properties and the corresponding temperature and pressure range, together with additional pertinent information such as type of data (i.e., whether the data are derived from experimental measurements, theoretical considerations or as a compilation from other sources), the form and amount of data, etc. An index according to property, sub-indexed for temperature and pressure ranges, and an author index are included.

A study is presented of one year of systematic zenith observations made with similar photometers at two observing stations:Haleakala (latitude N 20.7 degrees) and Fritz Peak (latitude N 39.9 degrees).It is shown that, for an effec * tive wavelength of 5300 A, there is a change of intensity with sidereal time (and therefore right ascension) due to three components:(1) integrated starlight, (2) zodiacal light, and (3) airglow continuum. Quantitative separation of the components is made.A critical comparison is made with some earlier investigations with particular reference to the problem of the galactic light.(Author).

The Chemistry of Propellants is a collection of papers and comments presented at the meeting on "The Chemistry of Propellants, held in Paris, France on June 8-12, 1959, organized by the AGARD Combustion and Propulsion Panel. This book is organized into six parts encompassing 25 chapters that serve as an introduction to the broad and important subject of propellant chemistry and propulsion applications. The first part deals with the sources, availability, and comparative costing of propulsion system. The second and third parts discuss the theoretical, thermodynamic, and experimental aspects of liquid and solid propellants. The fourth part examines the main problems concerning preparation, storage, and use of propellants for ramjet, while the fifth part looks into the factors leading to deposits in jet engines and some of the consequences of their existence. The sixth part covers the advantages of the high energy chemical propellants, including fluorine and hydrogen. Combustion and propulsion scientists and researchers will find this book beneficial.
