The thermodynamic properties of fluids are vital information for design, operation (including safety considerations) and maintenance in the fluid processing or continuous manufacturing industries. Among the thermodynamic properties, some are more important and pervasive with vapor pressure being possibly the most important of all. Practical handling of any fluid requires knowledge of its vapor pressure, and vapor pressure (or boiling point) is invariably among the first properties measured for any substance. Chemists and chemical engineers are the primary people who need these data. Traditionally, these professionals have populated the petrochemical industries and have driven it to unparalleled levels of efficiency and productivity. However, these same professionals recently have migrated into other fields, such as: electronic materials, pharmaceuticals, environmental professions, food processing, and biotechnology. They bring with them their skills and knowledge of continuous processing and their consequent need for thermodynamic properties, such as vapor pressure. In addition, the faculty and students of academia need this information to prepare those who would enter the fluid processing industries.
