Abstract
In this work, we compiled and evaluated various properties pertaining to the heats of combustion of about 420 compounds of physical, chemical, and engineering interest. This includes boiling points, melting points, latent heats (enthalpies) of vaporization, heats (enthalpies) of fusion, heats (enthalpies) of formation and combustion, and heat capacities (specific heats). This is a revised version of this document which was originally published in December 2023. We have corrected a number of errors, including adding missing references and inconsistencies in sub-section headings. We have also updated a number of the normal boiling points providing more exact values.Citation
