Since 1980, the Design Institute for Physical Property Data(R) has spo
nsored Project 801 to develop, organize and make available to project
sponsors a complete, critically evaluated compilation of thermophysica
l properties of industrial important chemicals. The database currently
contains the properties of over 1700 chemicals and is arguably the be
st process design database in the world. Project 801 will continue to
serve the needs of engineers and scientists in the future as new compo
unds and data are incorporated into the database and as new capabiliti
es and technologies are implemented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. Al
