Abstract
Acoustic resonators have been developed at NIST as tools to measure the thermodynamic and transport properties of gases. High Q cylindrical acoustic resonators are routinely used to measure the speed of sound in gases with uncertainties of 0.01% or less. Model intermolecular potentials are fitted to the acoustic data to obtain virial coefficients, gas densities (rho), and heat capacities Cp with uncertainties of 0.1% as well as estimates of the viscosity (eta) and thermal conductivity (lamda) with uncertainties of less that 10%. The viscosity is measured directly with uncertainties of less than 1% using the Greenspan acoustic viscometer, a novel acoustic resonator developed at NIST. A novel resonator is used to measure the Prandtl number (Pr =eta.Cp/lamda) with uncertainties of about 2%. This paper summarizes our work with these resonators and their applications to numerous gases including very reactive gases used in semiconductor processing.Proceedings Title
