Heat capacity of liquids: a survey and data needs

New experimental data on heat capacities of pure liquid organic and some inorganic compounds were compiled, and recommended values were developed by critical assessment of literature calorimetrically determined heat capacities. The bulk of the work covered data published in the primary literature between 1993 and 1999 and some data of 2000. This paper presents a survey of some recent measurements of liquid heat capacity and highlights needs for new data on liquid heat capacity for large production organic contaminants, hazardous air pollutants and drinking water contaminants. Results of the critical assessment of data were published in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data.
