The Institute's Design Institute for Physical Property Data (DIPPR) has unveiled two new databases.
The Evaluated Process Design Data database supplies accurate, carefully evaluated data for process engineering. These data can also be used for other purposes, including education. The database contains 29 fixed-point and 15 temperature-- dependent properties for over 1600 industrially important chemicals.
The educational version of this database contains the same properties for 100 compounds and was modified specifically for use in chemical and chemical engineering thermodynamics and process engineering courses. More information on the main database and the educational version can be found at http://dippr.byu.edu. A demonstration program, which shows some of the features of the main database, can also be found there.
The second new database is the Environmental, Safety, and Health Data Compilation. It was created to collect, in one convenient location, accurate and carefully evaluated values of environmental, safety, and health data. This data is ideal for use by environmental and safety engineers.
This database contains 55 properties, divided into six "blocks," for 811 chemicals selected from the Clean Air Act Amendments, the OSHA list, and the EPA Risk Management Program. The academic version of this database contains data for the same properties for 32 chemicals. It should be quite useful in a number of chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering courses and will be available early this spring. Details on both the main database and the academic version can be found at http://dippr.chem.mtu.edu.
