The method for obtaining phase diagrams is to find the required data in books on physical properties. Some examples are International Critical Tables (1924) Beilsteins Handbook of Organic Chemistry (1960) CRC Handbook (1984) D Ans, Lax Handbuch (1967) Ullmann s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry (1988) Kirk-Othmer s Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (1979) and VDI-Wdrmeatlas (1988).

Monographs, reference books, and encyclopedias, e.g., Ullmann s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, or the Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry are included in this type of literature, which is furthest from the primary literature as concerns time and content. In most cases, tertiary literature summarizes a topic with information from different sources, and additionally evaluates the contents. 

The Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology contains over 1200 separate ia-depth articles, over 16000 images, photos and iUustrations, approximately 6000 tables and mote than 8,300 chemical and mathematical equations.

Source of Heat Industrial furnaces are either fuel-fired or electric, and the first decision that a prospective furnace user must make is between these two. Although elecdric furnaces are uniquely suited to a few apphcations in the chemical industiy (manufacture of sihcon carbide, calcium carbide, and graphite, for example), their principal use is in the metallurgical and metal-treatment industries. In most cases the choice between elecdric and fuel-fired is economic or custom-dictated, because most tasks that can be done in one can be done equally well in the other. Except for an occasional passing reference, electric furnaces will not be considered further here. The interested reader will find useful reviews of them in Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (4th ed., vol. 12, articles by Cotchen, Sommer, and Walton, pp. 228-265, Wiley, New York, 1994) and in Marks Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers (9th ed., article by Lewis, pp. 7.59-7.68, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1987).
