An atomic force microscope (AFM), a surface forces apparatus (SFA), and a ball-on-inclined plane (BOIP) apparatus were used to measure the mechanical properties...
Measurements of the molar heat capacity at constant volume C v for chlorotrifluoromethane (R13) were conducted using an adiabatic method. Temperatures ranged...
Reliable kinetics data are necessary input for models describing the decomposition of gases in electric discharge or electron-beam devices. In this second part...
An integrating-sphere system has been designed and constructed for multiple optical properties measurement in the IR spectral range. In particular, for specular...
This paper presents an expert rule set for air-handling units (AHUs) and examines the performance of the rule set using simulation and field data. APAR (air...
The harmonization of international dishwasher test procedures is a global target. Currently in the US, manufacturers are working with the Department of Energy...
