 1725.    KELLEY, K. K.  Thermodynamic Consideration of the Synthetic Methanol Process.  Ind. Eng. Chem., vol. 18, 1926, p. 78; Chem. Abs., vol. 20, 1926, p. 538.

        Free energy and equilibrium constant of the reaction CO+2H₂=CH₃OH(g) are calculated at various temperatures.  ΔF°₂₉₈=10.950, ΔF°₅₂₃=O, the working limit of the process at 100 atm. is 700° abs.  The method of calculation is that of Lewis and Randall.  Park’s value for the entropy of liquid CH₃OH is assumed.
