PROPERTIES OF ORDINARY WATER-SEBSTMCE In All Its Phases—Water-Vapor, W a t e r , a n d All t h e Ices Compiled by N . Ernest Dorsey, National B u r e a u of Standards HIS monograph is so comprehensive that only a few of the more general topics can be mentioned. Among these are the thermodynamic considerations involved in the synthesis and dissociation of water-substance; thermal energy of dilated water-vapor; molecular and pressure-volume-temperature data for all forms o f water-substance; acoustic^data^ optical properties; the structure of water and ice as revealed b y Raman Spectra and X-rays; the reflectivity of ice and snow; electrical properties of water-substance; t h e color of water and of the sea, etc. Of particular interest to aeronautical engineers is the material presented o n such subjects as the mechanism of ice formation and the viscosity of fog; the data on icebergs and glaciers will b e useful t o geologists, oceanographers and hydrographes; and detailed information on rain, hail and snow will be indispensable for meteorologists. Hydrau lic, steam and marine engineers, and physicists and physical chemists will also find a vast amount of vital information in this compilation.
